A 'Triple Bill’ in Replacement Animation.   We love Eastend Western’s brand new animated shorts, Triple Bill. The films use replacement animation - a technique in which every frame uses a different, unique puppet. We’re transported to three distinct worlds where cinematic genres are referenced and subverted: 🤠BLUE GOOSE – A western poking fun at the enshittification of our online spaces. 🕵️ CLUB ROW – A film noir on data privacy featuring a hypnotic, spinning staircase. ⚔️ MYTHACRYLATE – A modernist fantasy for the century of the self, making use of the multiplicity of characters inherent to replacement animation. The online reaction to the films has been incredible, from a Vimeo Staff Pick to press coverage in the likes of CartoonBrew.com - Animation News and Motionographer®.
