In short film Poppy, two Kiwi soldiers discover a baby in a muddy World War l trench. For one it will mean redemption amidst the hell of war. Inspired by real life events experienced by the great-grandfather of scriptwriter David Coyle, Poppy marked another computer-animated collaboration between director James Cunningham (Infection) and producer Paul Swadel. CGI is used to evoke a bleak Western Front landscape, on which the (motion-captured) human drama unfolds. Cunningham spent 4500+ hours making the film. It won acclaim at computer graphics conference Siggraph, and invites to the Telluride and South by Southwest festivals.
