<PERSON> and <PERSON>
Really remarkable stop motion here, with <PERSON> elevating his game even higher. It's in the fine details of fast movement and in the jumps and gravitational bits. So good. His command of how things move and have weight has always been phenomenal, but he's improving all the time.
His cinematic chops are also extending. he's using camera overlays including bits of hand drawn animation. 594
He is cross cutting action sequences and he's using multiple angles of the same action.
As parable, this isn't much, but it is a pretty devastating rip on the bourgeoisie. Because of his use of insects and animals, we see thee creatures as ourselves - and so here we see ourselves as rats. Not entirely comforting. And if I did have a minor quibble, it's that even though he is now animating the faces of these rate, it does move the piece a little further into pastiche because they no longer look like real animals, but closer to cartoon versions. Its something that was bound to happen if he wanted this level of characterization, but it is a trade off. Still, this piece has some great stuff. 862
