Lury is an animated film featuring 20-cm-tall figures and elaborate stage sets consisting of some 5,000 individual photographs.

The main character is Lury, a fisherman who has lost interest in fishing and wonders what other kind of occupation he could pursue. When a knock comes at the door and he opens it to find a demon, nothing is as it once was.

After their successful project Gobi kommt from 2018/19, the team wanted to take on an even more ambitious film project. The figures were to be more mobile and the sets even better. In addition, the camera was moved on a track and the lighting was improved. Like their previous film, it was to be an adventure and follow a fixed script. Moreover, this time texts were spoken, and only English subtitles were supplied. For this reason, Laurin, Amelie, and Niklas spent a large part of their summer vacation building and photographing and then many hours in the fall and winter editing and adding the soundtrack. The film was completed in March 2020.

The materials used for constructing the figures and building the sets in the carport were anything that could be found around the house: wood, metal, fabric, Styrofoam, paint, etc. For the skeletons of the figures, we used small metal plates, ball joints, and wire frames.

Because the figures required supports that should not be visible, we also used the green screen technique. As large parts of the sets had to be painted at the end of the film, we were not able to take any photographs afterwards, meaning that the scenes were edited together right away as little films and examined, some photos were accidently deleted, and scenes were photographed again. The photos were taken with a Samsung WB350F compact camera, the video editing was done with Pinnacle Studio 22, and the audio recordings were processed with Audacity.

Laurin (b. 2008), Amelie (b. 2008), and Niklas (b.2003) Steinhuber are siblings. They began making short films several years ago using a simple video-editing program. In addition, they also regularly made LEGO animated films and short audio dramas.
