Great short that's visually stunning and leaves you talking about it for ages!, 15 June 2006
10/10
Author: sjtaylor84 from United Kingdom

As an animator myself on an almost zero budget I love seeing short films like these made by a non big name company. The visuals as other reviews have said are stunning (the only thing I've ever managed to create on Blender was a flying splodgy shape!). The story is confusing but to me that makes it all the more interesting. Even if there isn't a definitive explanation it's always fun debating it with others who have seen it. It's also nice to see characters that are original instead of the "straight man and comedy side kick" combo that we see so much of these days in animation. Great film! And to top it off they offer the film for free in every format from mobile phone to HDTV along with all their files, which is a great resource for other animators.
