Something Left, Something Taken is a very cool little hand-crafted film by Tiny Inventions, an animation studio in Brooklyn, New York that consists of Max Porter and Ru Kuwahata. Together they primarily produce animated commercials and produce their own short films on the side. They have an incredibly extensive (and somewhat technical) “making of” for Something Left, Something Taken on their blog that walks you through their unique workflow for mixing real-world models with computer animation.

You can watch Something Left, Something Taken in its entirety on Vimeo.
