How it feels
Five very short films made by Aardman in the 1980s. They use plasticine clay animation to act out ordinary conversations that were secretly recorded in real life. Each one shows a different everyday situation like a couple chatting or a man talking to a friend.

What happens
Conversation Pieces is a reworking of the Animated Conversations concept. It consists of a series of five shorts which aired on Channel Four between 1982 and 1983. Each short was five minutes long. As summarized in "All About Aardman": "plasticine personalities enact scenarios suggested by documentary-style recorded dialogue". Aardman commissioned Nulight Studios to remaster the shorts from their original 16mm film reels to digital 4K. In July 2018, the remastered shorts were premiered along with three earlier Aardman films at the Cinema Rediscovered film festival in Bristol. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
