Daniel Greaves short film "Rockin' & Rollin' "

(2001).  4 minutes, 30 seconds. Winner of 10 international awards.

The film was written, designed and co-directed by Richard Jack.

This is a perfect example of an animation, on how to bring objects to life. How do you communicate the action with clarity applying human attributes to an object?Good study of human posing and rhythm of movement is what makes this animation so good (in few words, loads of research). There was no need for facial expressions or legs and hands, to make the viewers understand what is happening. Just a good scene, sound effects and movement.
