counting sheep1

This animated film experiments with movement and colour to bring a comical reflection of the sleeplessness we suffer at the hands of unpaid bills, reality shocks and other stresses.
The story is basically inspired by the feeling we may all have at one time or another that life is not exactly all that we might have expected. Clerical work, bedsits, the fear of competition, success and even survival, or then again, playing it safe.
Moving images are created in a more personal way. Using what has become the commercial equivalent of traditional animation technique, but, with flagrant disregard of the recognized method or style associated with the proper use. The sound is also innocent regarding the over use of rules or structure.
The main character is inspired and is an appreciation of one best remaining anonymous and can be seen in several of the supermen in suits series of short films.
