Lilly In The Lab was a 16-foot tall giant orange monster bursting out of the Blush Lane building in Marda Loop as well as a series of mini-games set in augmented reality. The event lasted from September 17 – 22, 2018. Our animated character came to life and caught hundreds of eyes. Made possible by a collaboration of Calgary artists and CAOS Artistic Director Xstine Cook, The Bum Family, animator Kristen Loader, and programmer Kyle Hinton.

Lilly has just kickstarted her very own Youtube channel. We will be uploading new videos relating to the Beakerhead event regularly so be sure to turn on notifications. Be sure to check it out, subscribe and give us a big thumbs up on all of our videos.
Welcome to our little world where all mayhem is considered fabulous. We are a collective of 6 cousins and our moms. We have been making films together since 2010.
We started out with live action and switched to stop-motion animation shortly after. Our random films are written and animated by us creating fits of giggles across the globe.
Feel free to explore our little world and watch any of our films. Fall in love with Lilly Monster or see our take on ethical issues of GMO food. Welcome to the land of the Bums.
The Kerfuffle
As mere children, we have taken the world by storm with our amazing sense of humor and absolute adorability. We could laugh ourselves into hysterics but occasionally you have to wonder if your work is decent. Well, we KNOW that Calgary loves us. Find out what they have to say in The Kerfuffle.
But How? But Why?
Why do we make films? Because Mom made us. The classic answer to any Bum Family Panel Discussion. We love filmmaking and of course, the time spent with our cousins. The endless cornucopia of snacks doesn’t hurt either. Learn more about us and our process and The Animation Lockdown by clicking below.
