Many animations and short films are personal endeavours, but few come close to the beauty of the Fox and the Whale. This 12-minute contemplative film is so full of amazing imagery that the only to show how beautiful it is to show the film to someone. A still shot doesn't come close to the refined compositions and the painterly look of every scene as they unfold.
If you want to learn more about the production, Cartoon Brew has a great piece on it. Click the link, it's worth reading.
Not exactly a "one-man show" there is a surprisingly small list of people involved and it's clear that is the deeply persona work of animator Robin Joseph. It combines 2D and 3D animation techniques, lovely music and tells a story that has humour and melancholy combined in an original way.
It’s the sort of film every animator wishes they could make.
