A Piece of Paper Goes on an Epic Journey in This Animated Short Film

Haruki Kawanaka

Why Watch? Yesterday we went flying with Superman, but this animated short film from Haruki Kawanaka is a flight of a different kind. float is a gorgeous, living sketch book with a score that sounds like a video game console wrote it.

For the most part, it’s a blend of geometry and water color-style work that takes us over the city and across the sea as a piece of paper transforms into something else. Purely experiential, it’s a beautiful – strangely comforting – piece of visual poetry.

What Will It Cost? About 3 minutes.
