Another Nova spot here, this time from the French animation house SL Co. I love the mixture of hand made inky textures and 3D. The spot is dark and bizarre and it took several repeat viewings to grasp everything that’s going on, which is no bad thing in my book. As far as i can gather, the end type translates to ‘Folk music, how to dissect the human with just a micorphone’. If i got this wrong can any French readers please post the correct translation in ‘comments’. Merci bien.
This film was produced by 18 animators living in St. Petersburg, Russia. The entire film was created by drawing on Post-It Notes. The song featured is by Oppa Novy God.
