Umbra
Malcolm Sutherland’s strange sci-fi short Umbra: the tale of a space man who finds himself on a strange, yet seemingly familiar, planet. Sutherland uses his chosen medium to great effect, achieving a complex range of emotions using rather simplistic characters. Combined with a sparse, haunting soundtrack by Alison Melville and Ben Grossman, it makes for a great five minutes.

Can’t thank you enough for sharing this…endearing, yet unnerving piece of work.

Reminds me of something Selfridges (UK department store) put on as part of their “Museum of Small Things”….Can’t remember the name of that artist though…

Yeah, yeah! This guy’s amazing! He’s got over 50 videos in his Vimeo account, too… I don’t know how he does it– animation takes FOREVER. I’ve only seen a small selection of his vids, but this one is my favourite. When I figured it out my world felt bigger.
