A few years ago I saw a music video by kenna that just wowed me. it was done with claymation and I assumed was done specifically for the music video. I recently discovered the video portion of it was originally a short that was nominated for an academy award for best short feature a few years back. I found an online version and I urge you all to go check it out. it's one of those rare pieces of art that just wow you and make you wish you could do something half as unique and beautiful.
