About Running

Synopsis

Inspired by the BUPA Great North Run, Best's unqiue style of hand drawn animation captures the atmosphere of the event and the participating runners. Using a process called ‘occlusion’, silhouetted figures are made visible only as they pass each other. This emphasises the individual’s singular effort in amongst the crowd.
