Imagine being about seven years old when you suddenly begin to see images from your past as if they were happening now. What if that’s all you could see? In “Slow Light,” a short film by Warsaw-based animation studio Kijek/Adamski, we trace the memories—and visions—of a man whose eyeballs are so dense that it takes seven years for light to pass through them. By the time he sees people and objects right in front of him, the past is perceived in real time and deeply influences how he experiences the present.
Produced by Animoon and COLA Animation, the film was created by a team of artists and animators who handmade tiny sets and design elements out of colorful paper and paint. You can even check out a short making-of video that illustrates some of the techniques the team used. See more on Vimeo and the studio’s website.
