We got some awesome behind the scenes insight from our friend who works at the Parsonage about the set design for To Walk Invisible.

"They didn’t film inside apart from the shop in the end. The whole outside church, graveyard, schoolroom all rebuilt on the field behind the Parsonage"

The level of detail in the recreation is very impressive

Behind the scenes photos of the animators on set. a.k.a: the Giant AU

17/10/2023

Lillian asked a great question on this week's episode, wondering how the characters' faces and expressions changed in this style of animation. While some figures have a static head that is manipulated from frame to frame, others have replaceable faces that click on and off to replicate the minute change in expressions.
