Madame Tutli-Putli is a stop motion film created in 2007 by Montreal artists Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski, known collectively as Clyde Henry Productions and produced by the National Film Board of Canada. I came across it while browsing through the NFB's extra-ordinary online archive of films. It took five years to make and broke new ground in using compositing as part of stop-motion production (the characters eyes were composited on to puppet bodies).

Madame Tutli-Putli has won many film awards around the world including an Oscar nomination in 2008. This is the kind of film I admire and love. It inspires me because it shows how, with hard work and passion, you can create an entire universe using your imagination.
