Ano Chi

4 min stop-motion claymation of infant-like pov journeying through a house while watching little dream-logic ghostly stuff happen as piano plays a little dreamy mood setting background music and a woman intermittently whispers slow ASMR narration of the broad dream concept of this house representing a spirit-world place for everyone outside life, before birth, after death, etc. Mostly this gives the impression of a stop-motion training exercise and concept-proofing to try out various visual effects and see how they look: a bunch of ideas like that cobbled together under the excuse of dream-logic rather than actually trying to tell a story. It is mostly coherent assymbolic of birth, life, and death though I suppose. But then again, aside from the one animation of a balloon entering a crib, it would be difficult for the rest not to be and is in fact about as vaguely tangential as can be. The generic visuals animated were not particularly interesting nor imaginative: Window curtains blowing, balloon moving, legs walking, vague shadowy figures, etc. It was about as tepidly mild as a scene solely dedicated to displaying a dreamworld can be. Oh well, concept-art animation. Not exactly avant-garde so much as amateur practice with a narrative set over it. You could do pretty much the same thing with any art practice. A hundred practice glass-blown horses? Arrange photos of them by similarity to make a progression and add music and narration of life to death as it gets up to a gallop then slowly breaks and bam. Same thing. 2/10 (where 5/10 is average)
