The Great Handini: Short Film
The audience goes wild for The Great Handini as he performs his magical one man show.
This stop motion short film was created during my time on the Aardman Academy: Stop Motion 1 course in 2021.
I was given just four weeks to storyboard, build, animate and direct my own short film to demonstrate what we had learnt over the three month training course.
The Great Handini is available to watch on Aardman’s official AardBoiled YouTube channel.
