Google Street View stop motion animation short made as a personal project by director Tom Jenkins.

Story: A lonely desk toy longs for escape from the dark confines of the office, so he takes a cross country road trip to the Pacific Coast in the only way he can – using a toy car and Google Maps Street View.

All screen imagery was animated – there are no screen replacements.

Produced, animated, filmed, lit, edited & graded by Tom Jenkins

Shot using Canon 5d MkII, Dragonframe Stop Motion software and customised slider.

Music by the wonderfull Cinematic Orchestra (cinematicorchestra.com) and the track is Arrival of the Birds
