More - an animated short
Mark Osborne’s mixed-media, stop animation short MORE tells the story of an old, tired inventor as he struggles through joyless life in a drab and passionless society, leading the same cold and colorless existence accepted by the identical drones around him. At once tortured and inspired by his dreaming of and yearning for his younger carefree days, he struggles to finish the invention he hopes will give his life meaning and worth. His world, and the world of those around him, is transformed when his secret invention is completed. His subsequent success, however, does not come without sacrifice. The inventor realizes that the true essence of his inspiration cannot be manufactured.
I’m blanking on where I found this, but I watched it this morning and enjoyed it. The short’s reference to VR makes it a good little fable for those of us who spend our days crafting the latest and greatest in inter/info-design/architecture/whatever.
