A London Tale
Synopsis
Visually expressive and highly emotive, this film, though only five minutes long, works on a scale (visually and emotionally, that is) as big as the city it portrays. It is made using traditional forms of animation, as well as new forms such as computer animation, all skilfully composited together to convey feeling and emotion and life in an intuitive, expressive way.
