"Ausziehn!" (loosely translates as "Move out!" or "Evacuate!") is a German feature film project directed by Peter Morlock of Pophitz ( www.pophitz.de ). A bizarre horror-comedy about an absurd collection of people living in a huge house in old Berlin. When the son of the landlord infiltrates this community by applying for a job as house-boy, he gets to meet them all, together with their peculiar, weird and sometimes downright horrifying habits and hobbies.
Happy Ship designed, developped and animated the four impossible creatures for this project. A demanding job because the outline both asked for realism (due to the creatures interacting with the actors) and for a certain comical look, also present in the live action portions of the film.
Sadly, after our part in the project was already finished up and looking good, due to some unfortunate circumstances the movie got stuck just before final cut.
We are still hoping for a new release date, which is still being worked on, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.


The four virtual characters

Donut Loopy:
the mascot for a newly started chain of fast-food donut-restaurants of the same name. Also (proudly ;) the openingsshot of the movie.

Little Phil:
Yorick's pet, a big ugly fish, made up of the worst looking bits of other fish, sewn together, and fed with some quite nourishing and bloody types of food.

The Cock Trap:
A little living device, designed by a surpressed lady inspired by a godly image in a dirty towel, enabling her to take control over her lousy husband once more.

The Voodoo-cook:
A boiling pot of slimy soup turns into a living cook, and seems intent on using the protagonist as the main ingredient of his new dish. This was the most challenging character of them all, as he had to be fully liquid and soupy.

Just another one of the Voodoo coock, as we like him so very much ;)

Little Phil in all it's pretextured glory.
