The six and a half minute film was shot in a New Jersey warehouse, using projected watercolor backgrounds, props made of cardboard, aluminum foil and Christmas lights, and whimsical hand-sewn costumes. Absurd electronic gadgets conjure memories of old science fiction classics. This lo-fi style plays against eye-catching animations that are interspersed throughout the film.
When collaborating, Simek and Keller operate under the name, Baby Bird. The name refers to a vocal style they developed where they join mouths like a mother bird feeding her young, and weave both harmonious and dissonant tones. Plans for Baby Bird live performances and recordings are in the works.
