Nathaniel Winckler - Lola & Her Dog

Lola & Her Dog is about a little girl who wants to be with her dog and tries everything she can to do just that.

"Lola" had 14 animators working nonstop, drawing all the frames on regular copy paper. We scanned all 900 frames and then digitally overlayed them onto lined paper.

Lola received a Platinum Pixie Award and was an official selection at 3 other film fests.
