Submitter Statement

Sticking to my self-taught animation roots, this stop-motion was shot 'blind' similar to how I learned on a 16mm Bolex.

Chris Sickels, the creative force behind Red Nose Studio, creates an eccentric and inviting miniature world with puppets, textures and light. These puppets populate his illustrations and stop-motion animations. The Society of Illustrators has awarded him The Hamilton King Award along with three golds and a silver medal for both illustrative and motion work. He authored and illustrated the picture books BUILD! and The Look Book. He has illustrated the picture books Here Comes The Garbage Barge, The Beginner’s Guide to Running Away From Home, The Secret Subway, and Elvis Is King!
