The article explores how directors tested a stop motion animation technique through three diverse genres in "Triple Bill." The shorts—"Blue Goose" (a western), "Club Row" (film noir), and "Mythacrylate" (modern fantasy)—critically address technology's impact on our lives, focusing on themes like data privacy and personal identity in algorithm-driven environments. The duo creatively uses movement, camera angles, and light to enhance storytelling, emphasizing the handcrafted nature of animation to evoke genuine emotions and build immersive, believable worlds distinctly resonant with contemporary concerns about online interactions.
Triple Bill consists of Blue Goose, a western, poking fun at the enshittification of our online spaces, Club Row, a film noir on data privacy and Mythacrylate - a modern fantasy for the century of the self.
The directing duo had to be clever with their use of movement when telling each story through such a labour intensive process, including inventive camera angles and the multiplying characters in camera.
