Make Death
Suck Less

Craft

It felt right from the beginning

Felt characters weren’t just a production choice—they were a key part of the strategy. This tactile stop-motion style, with its endearing puppets, help us tackle a sensitive topic while keeping it relatable, talkable and easy to digest.

Every character, prop, and set was carefully handcrafted to bring an extra human touch, with the frame-by-frame process taking days to create just seconds of film.
