Dictaphone Parcel

Thought I'd share this little animation with you, just a bit of light relief. Enjoy.

Animated short film, Royal College of Art, London, 2009

Dictaphone Parcel is an animation based on a sound recorded with a dictaphone travelling secretly inside a parcel. As the hidden recorder travels through the global mail system, from London to Helsinki, it captures the unexpected. We hear a mixture of abstract sounds, various types of transport and even discussions between the mail workers. The animation visualizes this journey by creating an imaginary documentary.

Dictaphone Parcel was awarded the Passion Pictures Prize in London, in February 2010.

that was really clever.

That's very cool. Quite creative to try to listen to the sounds and "visualize" what things could have looked like at the moment.
