More on the film and the filming process:

Interviewed for the 3Doodler blog (Velikovskaya used one of their pens in the creation of Ties), the director admits that she originally saw the film as being made with an unconventional 2D approach, until her husband and co-producer Florian Grolig (In the Distance, Friends) had a different idea and proposed the idea that the characters and objects should be created physically and then disappear frame by frame: “He suggested trying a new technology to draw each frame. ‘How about a 3D pen?’ he said. I turned that idea down immediately. I’m not that crazy! Many questions popped into my head. How would I draw animation with a 3D pen when I’ve not used one before? How would I draw each frame so it does not look too different from the last? How would I fix frames in the same position? But you know what? The idea stayed in the back of my mind. And I started to think about how to solve those problems. Not long after, I found myself making Ties with the 3Doodler and some wires.
