The Strange Case of the Luminous Lurker
A live brief issued by the Being Human Festival, that required a lie to be told convincingly* in a documentary format, inspired by the Lunar Hoax of the 1830's.
Our lie was based on the belief we had as kids that the moon used to follow you around, in the car etc. The idea itself is completely ridiculous so we went completely off-piste and blew it up to the idea of a local luminous lurker, causing chaos and being a nuisance in a small town (rather than a threat). Monty Python was a big inspiration for us stylistically, but also narratively of embracing the ridiculousness of an idea and turning it into a mockumentary format (see ‘Hell’s Grannies’).
This video was created using stop-motion and it was a collaboration consisting of three multidisciplinary graphic designers.
