Into the Womb – A Stop-Motion Short Film

"Into the Womb" is a stop-motion short film that explores the deeply personal and emotional journey of abortion. The film uses delicate paper-cut animation, brought to life through a custom-built lightbox designed to enhance depth and atmosphere.

Our team constructed the stop-motion lightbox using wooden boards and glass sourced from a local construction market. We intentionally left a larger gap between the boards to allow for more dynamic lighting, illuminating the layered paper compositions and creating a sense of depth through shifting shadows and textures.

Through this intricate visual storytelling method, Into the Womb portrays the complexity of choice, loss, and autonomy, inviting the audience into an intimate and poetic reflection on reproductive rights.
