An interesting musical that's for sure, I got nearly 8 minutes in before calling it quits.. Not because it was unsettling, just bc I wasn't getting much out of it lmao if anything, it vaguely reminded me of Coraline and Courage the Cowardly Dog. There's an uncanny valley for sure, but that's bc the short film's messing with various mediums. Between the clay-mation, the live-action, and puppetry(??) I found that there's way more effort being put into it than necessary and that itself made me appreciate the whole thing somehow. The combination managed to become charming in its own way, if that makes sense? It might just be more of acquired taste kinda thing idk
And then there's @Tanako 's video that takes that stop motion animation with bunch of paper drawings and.. cursed lo-fi indie folk music??? I find it fascinating that both featured something more vintage in the creation process, in "filming" and audio production. There's something to be said about the fact that both of these can be achieved on with (probably) a low budget and still manage to be impactful on viewers
