This blog follows the production of an animated short film called Lemons.

Lemons is about an odd, agoraphobic gentleman, an unrequited crush, an open air market, and of course lemons. In both the fruit and situational sort.

Kate Burck is an animator, illustrator, and designer. This film is the thesis production of her BFA at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan.

I expect to top off another roll by the end of the week.
Most of this set is put together with the magic of double stick scotch tape. Heck if I’d realized it’s power before I’d have done the whole thing with it. I’m pretty sure 3M should be sponsoring me by this point.

Test shots!
