Behind The Scenes Stills

On Loop was created in the basement of Kensington Gore Royal College of Art. With the help of an amazing RCA technician, Ricky, and a helpful friend, I created a life sized bedroom set. Susan Calman very kindly came into the RCA and recorded the voice over.

"Such a clever, fun, and funny film. And so utterly recognisable! Even for those of us not afflicted with insomnia. The animation and cinematography are beautifully executed with spontaneity and verve that complements the liveliness of the monologue, and the Hockney-esque composition and playing with time sequencing is such an apt visual metaphor. An exceptional graduate film.”
