A homage to the sweetest and best animal I ever worked with! Djaya! She is a rescue dog and came into our lives via Jim van der Woude🖤 ( a family friend and amazing mime artist ) Djaya now lives with my dad and we were lucky to have her in our music video.

WANDER TO WONDER fait partie de la sélection officielle 2026 des César dans la catégorie court-métrage d'animation.✨ Réalisé par @ninagantz Produit par @circefilmsnl , Kaap Holland Film, @lesproductionsdemilou @beastanimation , Blink Industries Petit aperçu des coulisses du film, de la fabrication des décors et accessoires. Les personnages évoluent dans un studio à taille réelle, ce qui a conduit l’équipe à utiliser de vrais objets, chinés ou provenant de la vie quotidienne, jusqu’à des mouches collectées et des dessins d’enfance transformés en courrier de fans. Mon Beau Studio a construit trois décors grandeur nature, transportés de la France vers la Belgique. Les structures ont été surélevées sur des tables d’animation afin de faciliter le travail des animateur·rices. Véritable couteau suisse de l’animation, @rosie_tonkin a assuré la conception des décors, des accessoires et de marionnettes animables, dont un pigeon réalisé dans l’esprit de Jan Švankmajer. Le chef opérateur @FrederickxSteven a quant à lui conçu un système de motion control sur mesure, avec le soutien de la rigger @margauxhumblet__stopmotion et des stagiaires Sophia et Maria — une équipe soudée, même dans les moments les plus intenses.

THE NEW MUSIC VIDEO for SALTEND RECOVERY is out now! *CHRISTMAS AMBULANCE* Link in my bio The whole Gantz family came together to make this one happen during our last summer holiday. My three brothers were all involved, Django stars as the main actor, Mickey was our gaffer/spark, and Dook kindly lent us his precious Christmas village. My dad let us turn his house upside down and his amazing dog Djaya, a rescue dog from Bulgaria who turned out to be the most professional dog I ever worked with! My mum handled one of the most important jobs of all… the catering. Ali Little came down to film and somehow managed to work magic with a tiny amount of lights and a Sony FX6. Set design and props were created and sourced by Mariken, Reggy, Lina, and my dad. Thank you for letting us hijack your holiday! Saltend Recovery consists of Terence Dunn, vocalist Sarah Newington, and myself. The full album drops early next year.

Have a very Loewe Christmas 🦦 Today we’re looking back at ‘An Otter’s Tale’, a surrealist craft-led film directed by @ninagantz for @loewe inspired by British arts and craft ceramicist William De Morgan. Produced to launch one of Loewe’s previous ready-to-wear Christmas collections, the film brings to life fantastic creatures and floral arabesques, mixing together live action, stop motion animation and fantasy to create something truly otherworldly. @loewe , @charliejamessmith , Manuel Albaladej, Martin Latham, Carla Santana Hernandez, Tony Canorea Cardoso, @blink_ink , @ninagantz , Bart Yates, @dammitcole , @jackbings , @malcolmhadley , Rory Shaw, @rosskirkman , @tonash1 , @jon.kassell , @timothyoconnell_ , Jonathan Woodard, Billy Boston, @robinsbrigham , @natvalente , @ewanjm88 , Gordon Allen, Jasmine Nixon, Eden Allen, @corbenjosie , Isobel Irwin, @pophamroses , Yossel Simpson Little, @bf__studios , Sarah Crombie, Rachel Lloyd, Richard Davidson, Robin Jackson, Steve Warne, @andyrbiddle , @adamanimator , @kweninlondon , Rosanna Morley, Emre Samioglu, @turkertuncerr , @joe.eckworth , @simona_cristea_trigger

Nina Gantz, winner of British/Irish Short Film of the Year for Wander to Wonder at the 45th annual London Critics’ Circle Film Awards. “It’s only a short stop-motion film with some live action in it and we worked on it for eight years. Not full time. Only the last three were full time, with a lot of love. I’m incredibly happy.” Photography: @dominicwhisson Photo Assistant @jivan.west Post-Production @maxpigott @ninagantz @wandertowonder_film @blinkindustries @beastanimation @circefilmsnl #londoncritics
