Cute short film
After reading about this, I did a Google search and found this short. It is definitely a cute and entertaining short. Impressive for being done by a kid for sure.
I would recommend all go and at least check this out. At the very least one can appreciate that this flip book animation was all done in one take with all audio being done on the spot. Great piano accompaniment for this too!
And hey, for a one minute short this has a great concept for the story. Just remember to be nice to snowmen!
Apparently, this has won a number of film festivals for kids, and I can see why. Bravo to this kid. This would make for a great cell phone video. Would be a great, funny video to whip out and show your friends. Who wouldn't like this? That is the question.
