The Formation of a Cloud OST








stop motion | documentary | video essay

Four handmade dioramas trace back into a childhood memory
where it eventually finds its ending in the space of its beginnings.



Depicted through a mix of stop-motion animation and super-8 film, The Formation of a Cloud revisits a distant and seemingly innocent childhood memory of a ford crossing located in the western suburbs of Melbourne.

A meditative journey of revisitation and discovery, the short film maps the past through four handmade dioramas, chronicling memory through the gazes of place, family and beginings and endings, just like the formations of clouds.
