Synopsis This is the tale of Left-brained Larry & Right-brained Rachel, a Siamese twin couple, stuck together by the head and thus resulting in them sharing only one brain. Using exactly fifty percent each, their separate personalities are kept intact and following the theory, being either left- or rightbrained, Larry and Rachel are complete opposites. They have a hard time being stuck together with their counterpart, but not only do they hate each other, their abnormality also makes them dislikable to the people around them, leaving them with a melancholy life of bullying and parental neglect. One thing the couple shares though is a common hatred and a longing for revenge. The opportunity arrives when they find out that using the whole brain at once might give them supernatural powers that can help rid them of their enemies. But the tragic lesson is learned: Being so opposite their team work is doomed to go terribly wrong. The Script I've had the idea for this story for a couple of years before I came to the European Film College (EFC). I've always been very interested in how the brain works and how intelligence can be categorized between individuals and at the time I had recently read what is now my favourite book, The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and other stories by my number one idol Tim Burton. Influenced by the style of this book, mixed with philosophies of left- and right-brained theories, the characters of Larry and Rachel came to me out of thin air. I drew my first sketch of the characters and played around with some rhymes but didn't get much further at the time. I've always had a small dream of doing stop motion, so it wasn't until the opportunity arose at the school that I decided to take up the idea once again. Eventually I submitted it for the Final Projects and was extremely happy when it got chosen amongst the around seventy scripts submitted. Today the theories are quite outdated, but I decided that this wasn't supposed to be a story of realism afterall. The concept worked brilliantly though: From this very black and white way of looking at the world, the personalities of Larry and Rachel were strictly set from the beginning and it was easy to figure out how each of them would think in any given situation. The plot came from the idea of Larry and Rachel joining forces to get revenge on the people who had treated them badly whilst growing up. By mixing brainwaves Larry and Rachel could get supernatural powers. Knowing how opposite they are though, the ending was just as clear to me from the beginning. I enjoyed writing this script and hope to write many more just like it. Stylistically it's very influenced by the works of Tim Burton and even Edaward Gorey who inspired him. I regard this project as the first step on my way to finding my own unique style; a mix of all the details I love so. The production For four weeks we worked and lived in the common room of the Blue House at the EFC and hardly saw the sunshine that was right outside the huge black curtain that was to be constantly closed for light continuity reasons. A total of twenty sets of hands pitched in, all contributing with a great dose of creativity. Some would merely join us for an afternoon of propmaking when they had free time from other projects, others were full time members which gave us a core crew of seven people who worked from 9 am to 11pm every day. The film was made as one of the 16 Final Projects to culminate our school year at the EFC – being the only animation film. This film is definitely the result of an incredible effort and most importantly: Great management. Because of a cool overview and control we managed to keep the deadline. There were many challenges along the way, but they were always solved with creativity and hard work. I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with such a hardworking bunch of people who not only transferred my script and drawings to an exact replica of what I had envisioned in my mind, but always added such a fine dose of humor and detail.
