In this fairy tale about relativity, a cuckoo clock narrates a day where bread was sliced one second thick, lovers fell in sync and time rarely flowed at an even rate.
It was created by husband-and-wife team Max Poter and Ru Kuwahata of Tiny Inventions. What’s special about the short is how it blends so many types of animation — hand-drawn, stop motion, After Effects, and even some good old fashioned puppetry — all with a charming hand-made crafty feel. Throw in a little forensic science and serial killer storyline, and you’ve got yourself CSI: Little Big Planet.
What’s more, the two have prepared an exhaustive behind-the-scenes making-of post on their website. They’ve documented just about every process, from the felty padded gloves photographed as the characters’ hands to the water made of Jell-O.
As someone who has done his share of very limited puppet-style animation in After Effects, this video on how the digital puppets were rigged and controlled using little proxies was a revelation:
Oh my… I wish I could use After Effects like that. =C

I've been a fan of their work for a while now. Everything “Tiny inventions” does is so unique and so delicious.

Watching the process and see the final movie, shows how much attention paid to details. Great job.

I cannot possibly thank you enough for posting this masterpiece. My mind hasn't been this overcome with joy and wonder since I witnessed my first film at a cinema (James & the Giant Peach). Well… maybe there's been other moments, but this is definitely added to the list! I'm now settling in to watch the rest of their work. Oh boy!
