Exquisite attention to detail in this slightly psychedelic film with tons of warm fuzzy paranoid-antisocial charm. Animation, lighting, camera work, puppets, art, sets, timing, framing…all impeccably imperfect and joyously spot-on with the deep poignancy and patina of modern tension. Thank you, Anna and Eirik, all the attention and awards that the film is receiving are well-earned. Read on to hear directly from these young psychological sages of filmic mystery.

Rabbit and Deer have spent the last year raking in the awards, and deservedly so. This clever study of a friendship in crisis by director Péter Vácz is delightful, thoughtful and very well executed. It’s a delicate blend of hand-drawn and stop-motion animation.

Creative control is a double-edged exacto blade. Mikey Please‘s collaboration with Dan Ojari (out in full length) is both brutal and beautiful in its microcosmic madness. This refined and pioneering vignette is about an artist going insane in miniature as she battles with a much vaster rocky terrain of inner criticism and drive. Brilliance peppered with masochism may be a curse, but this film is certainly a blessing. Meteoric talents Please and Ojari have recently launched an animation studio together, almost too much radioctive radiance for one building. Read a nice Q & A with Please by Motionographer and scroll down for time lapse making-of and lighting technique videos.
