Un trato brillante

Shiny Shit is a stop-motion animation collective made up of Alicia, Luz, Libertad, Alex, Caro, Consu, María, and Bea. All of them are graduates of the Escola de Cinema de Barcelona, where they first met and developed their creative collaboration.

The collective was founded in 2023, emerging from their shared training and a collaborative working dynamic rooted in experimentation, interdisciplinary exchange, and a common passion for stop-motion animation.

Its members come from a range of professional backgrounds, including Communication Studies, Fine Arts, Film, Art Direction, Digital Arts, and Animation, bringing an interdisciplinary perspective to their work. Together, they have created projects spanning animated short films, live-action productions, and music videos, exploring a wide variety of visual and narrative approaches.

The film was created through a horizontal and collaborative process, with no hierarchies and all decisions made collectively through shared spaces for dialogue and organization.

The script emerged from a collaborative writers' room, where each member's ideas were discussed and developed together until the final narrative took shape. This approach extended to every stage of the projec, from design to animation and art direction, with roles shifting flexibly according to the needs of each phase.

The group's diverse backgrounds in film, fine arts, animation, and writing fostered a continuous exchange of knowledge and a shared learning process that enriched the final work.
