Out of Sight

This animation is so amazing. It's been a long time since something grabbed my attention for so long. I was receiving IMs and being handed mail the whole time and nod once could I bring myself to look away. I even found my eyes getting damp from the emotional build-up it caused - it's just that awe-inspiring.
I especially love how we're encouraged into this little girl's world as she crawls through a gap in the fence. We start off in our own world of sight before following her into her own world - a very clever way of starting. Her "magic wand" is another clever device. Its beautiful as she "creates" her own umwelt, the visuals appearing as splodges of watercolour before she becomes fully comfortable with it and starts imagining full versions of what she's experiencing. The style of the drawings and the music come together to form something truly beautiful.

Quite an amazing animation.
