Fin McMorran animation:women and sheds

Women and Sheds : animation by Fin McMorran

An experiment in documentary-of-a-sort, and in artificial limitations (60 seconds runtime exactly) as an aid to creative thinking. These are 9 stories from 9 women about their relationships with their sheds, written and voiced by the women themselves. And a response from one shed, explaining some of the complexities of life as a wooden garden building.

Shown at Kestle Barton Flower Show as a shed-juke-box, and awarded "Best in Show"
