Now that our screening at the Worldwide Short Film Festival is complete I have no qualms about pointing out that Philip Eddols' Git Gob is online in its entirety thanks to the kindness of the people at the National Film Board Of Canada. This is officially one of the Best Things Ever, it's only a minute and a half, and it's embedded below the break. We've also got Eddol's previous short, Wat A Wonderful Day down there.
this is brilliant.
And pre-dated by YAMAMURA Kôji's Karo to Piyobupt films (the third one, "Ame no Hi"/"Rainy Day"/"Imagination," in particular), though Git Gob manages to take many of the wonderful and strange things about those films even further (though Obayashi's HOUSE remains the only thing I know of which manages to match it's bizarre-but-somehow-it-works combination of mediums, and the most bizarre thing is that HOUSE isn't even animation for the most part).
The cute design and movements of the bunny are the only things I /really/ like about Wat a Wonderful Day (though the film as a whole still managed to just pop it's head above my expectations of it). I can't tell whether it's animation or puppetry; it somehow seems to exist in some strange place in between them: maybe one in some shots and the other in others? Anyone read enough about them to know?
