Pipe Dreams

2013

This animation follows the journey of a piece of paper that was scrumpled up and thrown away. As this paper falls, it becomes a small part of the many other neglected ideas and the debris piles up. This story follows the paper and the abandoned idea.

The animation was made using a 5 story building, a shipping container and a double-decker bus as a canvas. During the coldest March in 50 years, Jo Peel and her dedicated team spent one month battling snow blizzards and icy winds to paint and record the animation frame by frame and create a 3-minute film.
