Sandy

Summer is here and with it comes sun, sea and Sandy: a new animated short film written and directed by Joseph Mann.

Playful, bright and ever-so-slightly NSFW, Sandy’s seaside world was brought to life entirely through stop frame animation. It took eight months of work, a lot of sand and hours of moulding anatomically correct private parts to create the film and its handmade set, complete with a bubble wrap sea and miniature rubber dinghy. The short film was inspired by director Joseph Mann’s childhood summer holidays, though completely fictional. But if Mann could become a child again for one day, this is how he would like to spend it.
