Opal

It's very dark and very beautiful at the same time. It truly made me feel conflicted in a way I can't full describe. The claymation is very well done and you can tell that a lot of love and probably a lot of sadness was put into this project.

OPAL is a story about Opal, a little girl living with her happy family (Some people may say too happy) and how her curiosity could get her in trouble..

This short was like.. the most terrifying, sad, and beautiful acid trip I've ever had, I'm honestly amazed at how much Jack Stauber got to do in this film despite its short 12 minutes runtime.

With amazing visuals, Great and impressive claymation animation, and seriously catchy musical sequences like seriously, the grandpa didn't need to go this hard on the beat, and it's very rewatchble too, and that's really cool because this is one of those shorts that gets better and better everytime you watch it, I can't recommend this enough, Jack Stauber my friend.. You're a genius!

This short film is perhaps one of the greatest works of 2020, and maybe the last ten years. The genius storytelling, the intertwining stories and characters, the underlying messages - I can't fit it all into one review, but "Opal" is stunning.

So glad that Jack Stauber gets to air his creative masterpieces on Adult Swim. I remember when I would record King of the Hill every night just to see if any of Stauber's work would flash through . This is no different, very unique and has you focused and gives you a in depth analysis of each character and what their motives are. I feel blessed go have seen such work.

Amazing short film. Very rewatchable. The short may seem confusing, but the ending explains it, leaving you satisfied and heartbroken. 10/10.
