Dim (1992)
This short is awful
This short is awful. if you've seen it, you must realize that nothing happens in it. there are no motivations. the attempt to create emotions with speechless puppets is a horrible failure. the music is trying its hardest to bring something alive on screen. it is a pitiful stab at art-house animation. the colors are dull and nothing about the production design sticks out except for the hideous characters, who look like the result of a student who has yet to perfect his artistry. they look like car crash dummies for Christ sake. the only redeeming factor that i got by the end was a chuckle when i realized that the audience's grueling experience watching this film is a mirror of the dummies' experience waiting for the bird to appear again. if you're not a dummy, you wouldn't put yourself through this 10min. torture.
