The Skyward Sapphire Chase: A Frog’s Rainforest Quest
Directed by
Weston Barber
In the Vibrant Amazon Rainforest, a Red-Eyed Tree Frog Follows a Blue Morpho Butterfly into the Unknown: A Tale of a Stop-Motion Animation Full of Curiosity, Friendship, and Adventure.
2,022 photos, 18 scenes, 14 characters, part-time took a year and a half to complete. Created this rotoscope stop-motion cartoon using a prototype multi-plane camera system using cooling racks, plexiglass, with a Galaxy A16 5G Smartphone, using my closet as a dark room.
