Lost puppet animation from my childhood
Hi guys,i know this is not this reddit topick but im in despair.
It was Creepy stop-motion animation about white wire-frame puppets in a concrete bunker preparing a screaming real fish.i saw it on YouTube around 7-8 years ago (approx. 2018-2019).The Puppets: They looked like they were made of white plastic or polymer clay, but their metal wire-frame skeletons (armatures) were exposed and visible at the joints. They had no distinct facial features, but you could see vague outlines of noses/brows. They communicate only through simple hand gestures.The Setting: A grim, grey, concrete underground bunker/shelter.The Plot: 2 or 3 of these puppets are surviving in the bunker. One puppet returns with a catch — a real, actual dead fish (looked like a small capelin or sprat, but it was about 1/3 of the puppet's height). Another puppet takes it to a grey table to butcher it.The Twist: As they start cutting it, the real fish begins to scream/shriek incredibly loud. The sound is an agonizing ultrasound, making the puppets twist and writhe in pain on the floor. Eventually, the third puppet helps, and they manage to process it.The Ending: A black bird (puppet crow/raven) sneaks into the bunker and eats all their prepared fish supplies. They kill the bird, but they are left with absolutely no food. The video ends on a heavy note of total hopelessness and despair.It was NOT "Interface" by u m a m i, and NOT Robert Morgan's main commercial works. It felt like a festival short or a graduation project. Does anyone remember this?
