Tupaea Short Films
We completed 4 short animated films for Auckland Museum's Tupaea and the Endeavour exhibition. The idea behind these films was to have an almost pop up paper-book type look to the stye and delivery. Each film highlights an interaction by Captain Cook and Tupaea with children, told from modern times looking back. There is a mixture of English, Māori and Tahitian languages throughout the films. They can all be viewed in the links below.
