The Last Bar is a stop-motion animation series, of which the pilot episode has been realized at the Filmakademie, Baden-Württemberg. It can also stand alone as short film.

The sets have different scales, depending on the size needed to tell the story. 1:6, 1:20 and even false perspective. Mostly everything is built from scratch and can be taken apart easily to be able to animate properly.
