Description
Daniel Whitaker is doing the laundry one day when he finds that one of his socks is missing. When he searches the dryer, he's thrown into a dark and spooky world full of old missing clothes. He finds his other sock, but not everyone there wants him to leave with it. This is the first animated short film by Austin Hillebrecht and the winner of the New Zealand Prize at the Hamburg Animation Awards in Hamburg Germany.Related content

This is amazing. I'm going for college soon to learn 3d animation. May I know how long would it take to make an animation this long?

Thanks a lot! This took me about 5 months of straight work. I was most likely pulling 10 to 12 hour days while doing this. Even more near the end of things. Best of luck in college!

You know... It's just awesome. It has a Tim Burton feeling to it, being creepy but not 'grown-up only'. And yet it has something unique, personal... Great work!

Whoa! It's amazing! I'm really impressed by your story telling, animation and 3D skills in all. Great, imaginative story, excellent character and simply an awesome animation short. I suppose you've studied animation and 3D desing in some school? How long do you usually work on these animations?

Thanks a lot! I studied 3D animation at school in New Zealand from 06 to 07. The Missing Sock took me about 4 to 6 months to complete I think. I was working on it all of 07 but when it came down to crunch time, it was about 4 months of work.

Yeah, animations take a lot of time to do but you seem to be rather quick though you do all by yourself :--O

When I made The Missing Sock, I literally had nothing else to do but work on it. I'd spend like 10 to 12 hour days on it everyday. It was nuts.

I love the perpetual terror that this kid has in his eyes. It really gives him the feel of being a scaredy cat all the time.

Excellent work, great tale, great visuals, lovely contrast between the two worlds as well. Very inventive, gorgeous netherworld and a well drawn protagonist ye could root for. Got anymore?
