01LEGO-style brick-built toy world
a plastic toy minifigure in a world of studded bricks
Needle-felted animation uses soft, fuzzy wool figures moved in gentle stop-motion.
05Needle-felted wool stop-motion: every character and object is made of soft, fibrous needle-felted wool with slightly fuzzy outlines, tiny wool fibres catching the light and rounded, chubby shapes, softly lit like a cosy tabletop set. On a rooftop garden above a city in late-afternoon sun, a needle-felted wool girl with brown wool hair and a yellow wool T-shirt waters potted tomato plants with a wool watering can. Medium-wide shot at her eye level, three-quarter view, the camera holding still. 0–2s: she tips the watering can over a potted plant and a few blue wool droplets fall onto the leaves. 2–4s: a white felted paper airplane glides in from screen left and lands on the rim of the pot beside her. 4–6s: she sets the can down, picks up the paper airplane and turns it over in her hands. 6–8s: she looks up and out over the city rooftops and smiles as the wind ruffles the leaves and her hair. Throughout: everything stays soft, fuzzy needle-felted wool with stray fibres at the edges, moving in gentle stop-motion steps, one continuous take.

Ask for stray fibres at the edges. Fuzzy outlines are what separate wool from clay.
