This stop-motion animation short is Canadian producer/cinematographer Kevin Parry's cautionary tale about greed. In a story as cold as it's arctic setting, it is the little things that demonstrate the craftsmanship of the storyteller. Brevity at its finest, surgical editing, all that it needed to be and not a frame more.
The body language and eye movements of the puppet were so well articulated I quickly forgot that I wasn't looking at a real person. Captured the vice in a smart, intuitive, clever fashion.
Ihor Dawidiuk's original music underscored the action brilliantly.
A grad student project, advised by Chris Walsh, this 3:40 film was made on a budget of $750 CD. Can't wait to see what this exciting new film maker is able to do with real money.
