Push My Buttons (2019)

  • Francesca Salmasi

This is a love story about two very different women, in their twenties, who secretly want to be with one another. It is an exploration of how different people show their love, some on their sleeves and others not until they feel the time has come. This film was a collaborative project created by myself and Hilary Groves. This film was a passion project and was created over a few months before our third year of university. It was a chance for us to learn stop-motion techniques from one another — especially for me, as I learnt how to create a stop-motion puppet from beginning to end. Within this project I created the human stop-motion puppet as well as the sets, character designs and concept art.

For this project I attended puppet making workshops with Jennifer Kidd to be able to create puppets to the industry standard.
