 Welcome back to the animation recommendation and today I want to talk about Frank Avni's short film Canvas. If you check your notifications you will see in the email that Canvas has been released on Netflix and the synopsis of Canvas is after heartbreaking loss a grandfather struggling to reclaim his passion for painting finds inspiration to create again. As you can see it's rated G and it's in glorious widescreen format but I'm not going to play the whole thing you should obviously watch it but I do want to show you little things I'm not going to go too far because of spoilers but when you look at it you can see that it starts in a 2d form and as we switch to CG you can see there's a lot of detail in the animation a lot of detail in the textures it has a lot of really really nicely composed shots and again you can go forward again I want to go too far takes place outside it takes place inside the house as you go from night time as it switches to daytime shots like that come on they're absolutely beautiful I'll leave it at that I don't want to go too far but it's a really touching story in anybody who has a wife husband partner as they watch shorts and movies like that I can't just watch it I project and think about my wife in case I would lose her it's very there some gut punches in there and it does really well showcasing that through pantomime only because the tricky thing with short movies is that is the budget you got to find a budget obviously to animate it the whole production the music but also voices and if voice artists are not part of your production it has to be all told through silence and pantomime and I think the short does it really really well even now and then it feels like a quiet place where you you want them to say something and but they're not saying anything but it it does work really well I think the animation is very expressive they're very appealing designs but everything is told through the story and the facial reactions of the older person and the granddaughter and to some degree of the mother but it's mostly those two that combined with the music which is also really good I think just tells the story in a really really beautiful way it clocks in at around nine minutes including credits speaking of credits that's the only negative and it's not a negative for Frank because the short is really really good I highly recommend you watch it it's really touching but anybody watching this who's at Netflix please please please stop with the grabbing the movie into the corner while the credits are rolling and showing you oh you might be interested in something else I think this movie especially any movie that is more emotional and touching as you soak in the end as the music kicks in and you just want to think about what you just watched it just takes you out puts the movie in a corner and it tells you hey something else like that and it's just really disruptive so anybody at Netflix with power there should be at least some option there are some things that I turn off like the automatic trailer view something when you're on a movie so because of spoilers but I haven't found a way to turn that off so if anybody if you know let me know in the comments if there's anything that I missed in the settings but such a bummer that was the biggest thing just let that short breathe let me go through the credits soak in the music and who worked on this that's the biggest bummer which has nothing to do with Frank that is 100 Netflix don't do this Netflix please but that's it if you have Netflix go watch it if you don't have Netflix sign up watch it and the good news is that Frank is going to direct his own movie so I am very pumped to see what he does with that other than that that's it thanks to Frank and the whole team for making this short it was really really good any of you watching this head over to Netflix and watch the short link in the description of course with the link to that and that's it thanks for watching and see you in my next upload
