One constantly hears about the deforestation of the rain forest. But no one thinks about the suffering of animals that this causes. With this stop-motion film, the artist wants to make clear to others that through the deforestation of the rain forest, many animals suffer or die because they lose their habitat. Since the animals cannot help themselves, we humans have to do it. Monkeys, gorillas, cheetahs, and lemurs are particularly threatened by the loss of their habitat. They are depicted in the film by bits of adhesive film on handmade paper. The main film portrays a family of monkeys that has lost its mother. After the deforestation of the woods, the father and his child search for a new habitat, which is not easy because the entire forest has been cleared.
This three-minute stop-motion film consists of 952 pictures and was made on my iPad with iMovie.
Using handmade paper made of leaves and paper scraps, pressed plants, and flowers Sarah painted herself using elderberry juice, she designed the jungle for the animal species threated with extinction. She created the animals from adhesive film, a waste product from a sign company.
