What if your standard MRI scan suddenly turned into a psychedelic space thriller halfway through?
MRI is an award-winning (1st Place Micro Short) stop-motion animated short written and directed by Dougal Vecqueray. The film was inspired by the director’s own experiences in hospital mixed with his love for stop-motion animation and 60s sci-fi horror cinema. The film was made over 9 months at the Aardman Academy as part of the In-Studio Stop Motion programme.
