like their work because it is an interpretive

piece, you make of it what youd like it to
be, its different and its definitely
interesting. Its very expressive and dark
which is something you dont tend to see
in animation very much. Usually as its
aimed at children and their films take a
dark and disturbing turn. Their films are
attention grabbing and keep you
constantly focused to try and work out
whats going on. I believe that their stories
have morals behind them, but we get to
choose what we want them to be
depending on how we view their films.
Their films are abstract and bring a sense
of old fashion film making back with the
dark gothic looking environments, colours and characters.
