Synopsis
A story about a 7-year-old girl sent on a mission to post a letter by her overprotective mother. Accidentally forced off course, the girl finds herself in a surreal landscape, full of foreboding suspended objects. She explores this strange world for herself until her mother's anxiety stirs the landscape into dangerous life.
"Careful" combines rough, immediate drawings in digital space, creating a visual interplay between what is flat and what is not.

Production notes
Made from a combination of hand-drawn animation, 3D computer generated-animation and treated live action.
The aim was to create a sense of a three-dimensional environment using line-drawn elements and to develop a look for the film that pushed the boundaries of design in computer animation.
The various ingredients were colored in Photoshop, then composited in After Effects.
