“The Move” by Mandy Smith

In just a few years time, papercraft animation has evolved from a trend into a heavily used animation technique employed in commercials, music videos, feature film titles, and short films. The newness of the technique allows plenty of space to explore different approaches and styles. The Move by Mandy Smith is a particularly impressive example with sophisticated three-dimensional paper sculptures that look lush and organic. The short was inspired by a move to Amsterdam.
