Paperman

When you want someone's attention, build them a paper plane. 

I just finished watching this sweet short by director John Kahrs, "Paperman", produced by the Walt Disney Animation Studios, and it's nominated for an Oscar in this year's Best Animated Short Film category. This combines 2D and 3D animation, while it merges hand-drawn and computer-generated images together to offer the audience a more dynamic view on animated films! Below is a quick inside look by Kahrs, while he talks about the concepts and methodology he took to create this amazing piece. 

Here's the synopsis:

"The short follows the story of a lonely young man in New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from his office, and sets out to get her attention"

It is such a sweet and "hopelessly romantic" film. I really recommend spending 6 minutes (give and take) to check it out!
