A very clever short film with a rather unforeseen emotional ending, by a french 3D animation crew who call themselves, Clik Clak. We can all relate to this orchestrated type of motion from either too many games of MouseTrap as a child, the unforgettable Honda Accord Cog Commercial, or simply just by observing life and it’s inevitable causalities, but what makes it so fascinating? The subtle ability to predict the near future can be quite satisfying I guess, which is probably more reason to become detached from expectation and accept the unexpected. Which brings me to the type, the subtitles for the two simple minded robot’s secret language, an unpredictable crucial component to the overall concept, a tricky element to add into the mix, but one that seems to work really well in this case due to the simplicity of everything else. Like the sound-driven editing (or whatever you want to call it) for example…another ingredient to draw you in even deeper to a point where you feel the motion, not to mention the full-flavor of a REAL quicktime… I love it! Excellent work Clik Clak.
