Sling the Mesh
Welcome to the behind the scenes of the short animated film Sling the Mesh. This film was made for the campaign founder Kath Sansom, who tasked the students with bringing to life the struggles men and women face after plastic mesh surgery. This film was created as a response to a live brief given to students on the Animation BA (Hons) course at Falmouth University. The student animation team were Alastair Booker, Samuel Prince, Cedeal Al-Mawery, Lilian Han Morze, Elysha-May Roberts and Phoenix Bilkhu. This film was their first film, made during their 2nd year.
