The project was developed over the course of one month, during which Tidu Workshop was responsible for the character design, environment design, and handcrafted modeling for the film.

From shaping the personalities of the characters to building the miniature sets and environments, our team focused on ensuring visual consistency, emotional depth, and seamless integration with the stop-motion storytelling process.
