The Oddsockeaters

Prior to the actual implementation, the development of Oddsockeater figures was necessary, with a physiognomy completely different from vertebrates. It was necessary to develop and test especially their movement and lipsynch - the connection of the mouth and nose, which will determine and significantly affect the facial expressions of their face.

The technology used to make the film is CGI, computer-generated-imagery. The choice of computer animation was a logical outcome. In one of the two main plot levels, the film deals with the question of the existence of the sock eaters as a species. And it is this kind of animation that allows realistic processing to maintain a delicate balance between believability and fiction and make great use of it for the physical character of sock eaters, which are not made of flesh and bones - they feed on socks. Sock eaters consist of textile materials. CGI programs allowed figures to stretch, translucent, tangle.

Preparatory work took place in the years 2012–2013, the shooting itself 2014–2016. Galina Miklínová, as the author of the original illustration of Oddsockeaters as an "animal species", wanted to preserve her artistic intention - to distinguish herself with authentic drawings from ordinary production using 3D technology, and all modeled objects covered with the produced textures were hand-drawn.

Film premiere on October 20, 2016.
