Small shimmering animals are in heat. A two-legged forest dweller encounters the lustful group. He and his companions snack on the little creatures and soon a feast begins.
In its hybrid form, ZOON combines techniques of stop-motion, puppetry and 2D. The axolotl puppets were formed out of plasticine and were animated frame by frame, whereas other puppets were marionetted in real time in front of the camera. Later, the faces, hands and feet were digitally drawn by hand. The backgrounds consisted of 3D elements, photos of built backgrounds, and paintings. The puppeteering team consisted of stop-motion and 2d experienced animators. No one in the team had much experience with puppeteering. The shooting was all the more fun: the team was curious to try out the peculiarities of the unfamiliar technique. In constant dialogue with the puppets, which didn't have faces yet but already had personalities, there was a lot of laughter on the set.
