• How I Made This: Dash Shaw and Jane Samborski’s Cryptozoo

  03-11-2021 20:42 via artnews.com
  
  At a time when animated features consist predominantly of CGI animation, with its immersive 3D scenarios and hyperrealistic textures of hair, fabric, and light refraction, it is refreshing to see animators and filmmakers consciously seeking a hand-drawn look. A case in point is the new, multi-award-winning animated feature for adults, Cryptozoo (2021). Written and directed by Dash Shaw with animation directed by Jane Samborski, it stands out for its retro-inspired, psychedelic aesthetic.
