Trash Land

When lone space-adventurer, Elinor, is marooned on Trash Land, she must discover what it means to connect with others by befriending the planet's eccentric inhabitants and saving them from abandonment.

This was a lockdown project and my first experience crafting and animating stop-motion puppets. The puppets now lay to rest, folded neatly into envelopes in my drawers. One day, I'll pluck up the courage to animate the film in its entirety but, for now, I hope you enjoy learning about the characters and their world.

Junker

 

Trash Land's resident janitor, Junker was transported to Trash Land by mistake after tripping, rolling and getting stuck in a very large, very round bin. He spends his days attempting to clean up Trash Land.

Sir Topsy Turvy

 

Self-appointed and self-important president of Trash Land, who speaks backwards and lives upside-down. No one knows how he got here, or why he lives the way he does, but he certainly seems to enjoy being in charge.

A rusty, creaking old man, accidentally shipped to Trash Land after being mistaken for trash. He's been living out his remaining days searching for purpose.
