Execution
The film is presented in a form of mixed media, with two sides to it. The surface, as everyone sees it, in live-action; the truth beneath, depicting the ivory poaching in animation. The stop-motion animation was made using 500 wooden Hankos, pressed one by one onto 2400 sheets of paper and was shot sheet-by-sheet to produce it. The innovative and challenging part of it is to create illustrations on the small area of Hanko (21mm in diameter) and to convey a clear story by combining these illustrations.
