This animated short by Lynn Tomlinson goes through the history of the last house on a sinking island in the Chesapeake. It functions almost like the house’s life is flashing before its eyes, before it goes under the waves. It’s like an even more depressing version of The Giving Tree
Tomlinson’s technique is unique: each frame is “painted” with a thin layer of clay, creating a sort of stop-motion/tradition cell animation hybrid. You can see photos of the short in progress on Tomlinson’s site.
