MAF: Animated Shorts Mixtape – Side A (15)
Plantarium by Tomek Ducki
The fifth animation is a stop motion animation that uses a verity of fabrics and sticks and crystals.
The story goes that there is an unusual garden in a dark cave cultivated by a lonely man. One day, while he is pruning the plants he finds a little boy in a pot. The child’s nails are sharp and he starts to cut at the gardener, as the child proceeds to attack the gardener and removing limbs to attach to itself until the child is as tall as the gardener after which then he plants the gardener in a pot and flees to live his own life, leaving the gardener toi transform into the very trees he looked after.
I found this animation to very captivating the amazing use of fabrics as the medium is astonishing, plus along with the lighting and sound used really made this a unique animation.
