This stop-motion animated short film, EAGER, beautifully synchronized with Aaron M. Olson’s music. A collaboration of the characters’ movements and the music reminds us almost watching contemporary dance. You may feel it looks a ritualistic and dark in the beginning, yet it turns fantasy scene around @4:00. It makes us feel like this is a different universe because the characters are unknown creatures. According to the website named The Wrap, the author; Tim Molloy had an interview with Allison. Tim asked her how did she get the idea of this film, and she says “I guess my ideas come from a big bowl of history and fantasy, doused in a thick creamy sauce made from my thoughts and dreams”. Watching this whole video will take 8 minutes and 30 seconds. This gorgeous video directed by Allison Schulnik and Cinematography by Helder K. Sun.
