The films that we have created for the “Man’s Footprints” exhibition gives visitors a sneak peek into the secrets of Herault’s prehistoric communities.
This series of 9 films, takes visitors back through time, 70,000 years ago. As visitors make their way through the exhibition spaces, they discover how our ancestors from the Lodéve-Larzac area lived and worked, focusing on funeral rites, homes, objects and hunting, etc.
The technique used is digital puppetry animation, stemming from 20th century paper cut-out puppets that are ideally suited to the rigours of scientific illustration such as archaeology. This method leaves plenty of scope for how the images are presented and offers modest production costs compared to the large amount of characters and films.
