Soap Opera

1 min

"Soap Opera" is based on a personal childhood memory involving bubble baths and pure imagination. Every frame of the film was animated with individual grains of sand, no photo manipulation or post special effects was allowed. Cameron was given a task to only allow the animation itself to direct his two composers, without giving any verbal directorial instructions typical in productions. Despite this challenge, Umberto Gaudino and Charli Mackie both understood the film's message, story, and tone, and were thus able to compose a compelling score.
