synopsis
As snow falls on a sleeping world, one window remains glowing through the darkness, where a clumsy wooden puppet sits alone as a story unfolds before his eyes. Lured in by the beautifully crafted pieces of an enchanted theatre he is taken on a whirlwind ride over which he has no control.Set to the music of The Little Explorer, this short brings to mind old zoetrope animation, experiments captured on cine film, and worlds where forgotten toys have souls.

The full title of this short is The Fool Looks At The Finger That Points To The Sky.
short fact
"It was decided early on that the video would not be shown to The Little Explorer until it was complete and that it would be kept as a surprise.

In turn it became a very solitary project debating certain scenes mainly with myself or my dog."

Hi Aaron,

Really beautiful style. It would be great to talk more with you about your techniques - would you take a look at http://crewgle.com ? It's a free site for filmmakers and animators to meet and put productions together. It'd be great to find out what you've got planned next.
