Misjudged | Kids short film | Animation | April 2023

MISJUDGED is a stop-motion animation telling the story of when a seagull meets a tentacled sea-witch, they share tales of making quick judgements of others. Created by young filmmakers as part of the Signal Starters project: a holiday animation club for 8 - 11 year olds, in April 2023 at Cooke's Studios, Barrow-in-Furness. The story, character designs, voice work and animation were devised by the group, with support from professional filmmakers.
