This stop-motion animation follows Pari, a fairy who breaks free from a century-long prison, only to discover that freedom comes with its own set of unexpected challenges.
This piece was developed entirely from scratch, including puppet fabrication, set and asset design, and frame-by-frame animation. You can view the final animation as well as the full behind-the-scenes process below.
