It would seem to be as good a time as any to show a quick making of video/teaser for Spike Jonze and Simon Cahn's animated short film Mourir auprès de toi [To Die Next To You]. The short film will screen at Cannes next Wednesday. The idea of using felt cutouts for the animation was apparently inspired by French designer Olympia Le Tan and her line of designer clutches [small purses for the rest of us outside fashion circles]. It's pretty magical stuff. Me like.
Thanks Manolis for the heads up
