Erodium Thunk
Erodium Thunk is a 2018 Canadian collage animated short by Winston Hacking, who is known for making music videos for such artists as Flying Lotus, Washed Out and Animal Collective.[1][2][3]
Synopsis[edit]
Named after the 1956 Michael Snow film From A to Z, a barrage of hyperlinked TV commercials and magazine ads (with doses of nostalgia and satire) that's also a comedic social commentary on late consumer capitalism.[4][5]
Accolades[edit]
At the 2019 Ottawa International Animation Festival, the film won two awards - one in the Best Technique category for "its intelligent arrangement of source material and fascinating transitions" and the latter in the Non-Narrative Animation category[6] stating that:[7]
"with its compelling balance of control and chance, this ever-morphing collage just kept surprising us".
