Hmmm. Many people are claiming this is the greatest short film ever created. Props to Rich Skrenta for pointing it out.
The Academy-Award nominated animated short-film by Mark Osborne tells the story of a lonely inventor, whose colorless existence is brightened only by dreams of the carefree bliss of his youth.
By day, he is trapped in a dehumanizing job in a joyless world. But by night, he tinkers away on a visionary invention, desperate to translate his inspiration into something meaningful.
When his invention is complete, it will change the way people see the world. But he will find that success comes at a high price, as it changes himself, as well.
If you enjoyed that, you may also want to take a look at Mark’s other film Greener.

Wow, what a deep video. That was the quickest 6 minutes of my life, I was completely glued to the screen. To be honest, it did not really make sense to me until the end and then I had to watch it again.
I love those short films, but that definately took the winning spot. Truly a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing :)
That is so true, isn’t it? It’s a slippery slope, success.
