Oddframe FilmsA collection of home movies languishes on a shelf, longing to be watched again. What they don't realize is that there's a fate far worse than being forgotten.
No AI was used in the making of VHX. It was animated one frame at a time using real vintage VHS tapes, magnets, and beeswax with a digital assist from After Effects, Photoshop, and DaVinci Resolve. The voices were performed by a UK/US cast, the sound design was recorded with more tapes, and the music was realized with a blend of modern and era-accurate synthesizers.
VHX premiered at FrightFest 2024 then screened at dozens more film, horror, and animation festivals all over the world, picking up several awards along the way.
If you hate AI as much as we do and want to celebrate the creativity of real humans, please like and share VHX! Thanks!

Posted No Hunting is a new twist on the found footage horror film - it's a micro short told through stop motion animation and stars puppets made of wool, rubber, and clay.
Alisa built the puppets and animated the film entirely in her tiny NYC apartment during the pandemic. Scott contributed story, music, and sound from across the pond in England.
