Feb 2026

Pingu takes centre stage in 'Straight Face,' a stop-motion production that explores the character's familiar, lighthearted encounters across various household and arctic environments. The project leans into the classic, tactile nature of the character, utilizing traditional stop-motion techniques and handcrafted props to recreate the distinct, retro animation aesthetic. Featuring a series of vignettes ranging from an igloo interior to domestic bathroom settings, the piece maintains a consistent cinematic quality throughout. The execution channels a nostalgic, analogue look, emphasizing the physical textures of the clay figures and the detailed construction of the miniature sets.
