Rachel Olga Lloyd - 



I was introduced to "How to count sheep" when asking one of the graduating animation students Eva Akesoon for some advice and inspiration. Eva's blog: http://evaakessonanimation.tumblr.com

I love the simplicity of the idea behind the video. The puppet's are cute looking but have a sense of high artistry. It's all executed in high detail.

Two of my favourite scenes:
1. The girl closing her eyes - you can see Lloyd's finger prints on the eyelids giving the animation a real DIY feel

2. The character walking through the forest - I forget it's a stop motion animation; the lighting casts shadows making it all feel very real.
