Isle of Dogs exhibition & film

I managed to book an early showing for Isle of Dogs which I was extremely excited about. I'd have to say I've been waiting for this film to come out for a good few years now and it didn't disappoint! I'm a major stop motion and Wes Anderson fan so I thought this would be a great opportunity to analyse a professional stop motion feature film.
Theres's so many little tricks for special effects that use materials you'd never expect. They used tissue paper for fire and for water they used clingfilm on occasion.
When I found out about the exhibition on at The Strand in London I knew I had to go! Looking at the puppets and sets in real life really gives you a better idea of how its all made. Some of the sets were much larger than I had anticipated! I was also surprised to see similarities between how things have been made for the trash island sets and how I've made the set for our own animation at uni.
