I remember this! It used to freak me out a little when I was younger. The animation was partially done as cut-outs mixed with cel, if I remember correctly. The music was kind of eerie and really set the mood.
Thanks for posting this, Hans.
This is great Hans, thanks for sharing. Reminds me of this other short I wanted to show you. Not particularly similar, but extremely interesting.
from hans –
interesting. if there was just some design and not only animated lines. the look is horrible.
