JAB
Jab is an interpretation of the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Caroll. Surreal and visually stunning, it uses a mixture of live action and after effects 3D photo animation to create a weird and beautiful world that I hope Lewis himself would have approved of.
There is only one letter difference between JAB and JCB. This is not a coincidence. A dark, spectacular, hallucinogenic, mechanical interpretation of the poem “Jabberwocky”, by Lewis Carroll.
