We Are the Freaks: A Portrait of the Sitges Audience

In 2024, these audiovisual pieces were screened at the Sitges Film Festival before the restoration of Freaks. They reinterpret the film as a metaphor for the festivals audience, celebrating the pride of being different; a tribute to the cult community that defines the spirit of Sitges.

To achieve the organic movement of the characters, Duik Angela was used to create a professional IK (Inverse Kinematics) rig. This technique uses a bone-based structure that automates joint rotation and limb positioning, allowing the "freaks" to move with a fluid, expressive elasticity that bridges the gap between classic cinema and modern digital animation.

Thanks for watching!
