The Greengrocer

March 25, 2020

In March 2020, the entire world was (rightfully) cancelled. Unfortunately, this meant the suspension of animation festivals, including the wonderful Cardiff Animation Festival, which Chicken Fruit was excited to be attending.

Fortunately, there was one element of Cardiff Animation Festival that could be carried out from our animation dens at home: the Cardiff Quick Draw challenge, wherein participants must make a short film within 48 hours. The theme is given on 7pm Friday (this year’s theme was “green”) and a final film must be submitted by 7pm on Sunday.

Above is the film that Chicken Fruit made for the challenge: The Greengrocer.

We started with a spider diagram of anything vaguely related to '“regrowth” that we could possibly think of. Our list included everything from weed control to David Tennant’s chopped-off hand in the 2005 Doctor Who Christmas special.

It’s more than just the fuzzy feelings of telling ourselves we’re not evil capitalist scumbags: working on animations or motion graphics for charities and non-profits is actually one of our favourite things about being an independent studio.
