Director John Hobbs' vision of turning an image of a penguin and a beauty queen into a short film was to dial up the oddity. Since he already found the picture dream-like, his objective was to have fun with it and leave enough room for the audience to fill in the blanks on their own. John Hobbs was an award-winning art director for many years before becoming a film and commercial director.

the still in this video are less about animation and more about documentary and an isolated moment - great exploration of story and looking at the medium in new ways.

This video uses stills in a brilliant way. Really great use of a point-and-shoot HD camera for a short film.
If you like this vid, also check out "Penguin Meets the Ice Queen" and "Miss Isla Tropica."
