“Blueberry Girl” is a short clay stop-motion film created and funded by Nouns Fest 2024. https://nounsfest.tv/
For this film I wanted to capture my daughter’s imaginative play at 3 years old and how I am a witness to her growth. At the time of making this, she loved Willy Wonka, and specifically the character of Violet Bauregard (Blueberry Girl.) I think I painted her face blue for a month. She usually becomes fixated on a character for a month and then moves onto something new. The nouns characters were a perfect way of showing her imaginative play and transforming into different characters. I involved her in the process of picking out the nouns characters, used her voice and she helped me animate the beginning section with her hands.
