A year to create five and a half minutes. If you're going to put in that sort of investment then you'd better pray that the results are worth it. And in the case of animated short film Loom by Jan Bitzer, Ilija Brunck and Csaba Letay they absolutely are. Stop and watch it now. It'll be the best five minutes of your day.
A moth being caught in a spiders web. Struggling for an escape, the moths panic movements only result in less chance of survival. What follows is the type of causality everyone's expecting. The spider appears, claims its prey and feeds on it. The way nature works. But it's the point of view that creates an intense relationship between the hunter and its victim. There is much more to explore, much more to feel if one takes the time to really experience the content of a split second.
