I started re-watching this for the first time in a long time, and realized about 30 seconds in how unique this short is. I had to rewind it 2 minutes in and time the first shot - EIGHTY SECONDS. The first three shots are almost 4 full minutes long. In all, there are only 10 shots in this entire cartoon - brilliantly paced, inspirational for anyone who wants to learn how to better tell a story.
This short film is exactly what I see when I close my eyes, at least it was until it was put into digital form. Now that it's outside of my head for the rest of the world to view, I have more capacity for creating my next music-driven short animation, learning and sharing in the studio, and showing my appreciation and receiving love from those around me. Thank goodness for this short film!
From the first notes it has a familiar feel for anyone who's seen the original 1949 short "Begone Dull Care" - check it out at the NFB website, it's worth the time. I'm on contract in Montreal right now (Oct 30, 2015) and hope to visit the NFB studio here before I leave and pay my respects. I'm grateful for the opportunities animation has provided, and this short film is a small representation of the positivity received during the first 45 years of my life. While at first glance some people think pharmaceuticals were involved in the creation of this film, the exact opposite is true - clean living and no alcohol or smoking allows brain development with clarity and access to that which is beyond our conscious awareness, that which unites us all as that single infinite electron that courses through every quark and lepton in the Universe. My thoughts, anyway. Loved it!
