An amazing Oscar-nominated example of what can be done with a dash of technology, a little creative thinking and a lot of paper! A man wakes up one morning and goes to his work in the copy shop, but finds that when he accidentally photocopies his hand, things spiral out of control. This film is so well crafted on every level: Virgil Widrich and his team painstakingly shot the film, printed out and re-photographed 18,000 frames to create the distinctive, scratchy aesthetic of the film. The acting is impressive, the sound design award-winning - all in all a truly superb short that pushes the animation medium to its absurdist outer limits. (Description provided by content owner)
