LA duo's animation wins Tropfest

A stop-frame animation with a deep message has won Sydney's Tropfest film festival.

The Tropfest short film festival has been won by LA duo Spencer Susser and Daniel Cloud-Campos.

The pair created a stop-frame animation with real clothing called Shiny.

"It's basically all of my wardrobe, all of Cloud's wardrobe and all of everyone else's wardrobe that we knew," Susser told AAP at Tropfest in Sydney on Sunday night.

The film's message looks at how people are obsessed with material things and how this can get in the way of everything else.

Mel Gibson, Simon Baker and Rebecca Gibney were part of the judging panel who picked Shiny out of 16 finalists.
