Seed has recently completed a short film called Food Porn, which explores the alluring appeal of naughty and unhealthy foods that are marked as no-go during January. Seed’s main aim is to ruin everyone's food related new year resolutions.
During the 1 min 40 seconds junk food literally teases the viewer - amongst the 14 different scenarios we see a cheeky slice of pizza revealing what's underneath its pepperoni, two ice creams having a snog, and a block of cheese grinding up against a cheese grater.
Seed approached recently graduated UK animation directors to direct each of the different scenarios, with a view to providing new artists an opportunity to direct a short clip they could take ownership of and shape it to their own style and specialist technique. Each artist chose a one line script and a colour palette, and the rest of the blame for the filth can be pointed at them!
Through leading UK animation courses Seed released a call for entries which was open to designer animators who have a flair for character and humour. From the applicants 15 artists were selected to produce the clips in their style.
Music was penned in true porn style by Yellow Boat Music.
