When the Day Breaks

He just wanted lemons

for the soundtrack: When the Day Breaks - Martha Wainwright Chickenbone Waltz - Music by Judith Gruber-Stitzer Prairie Blue - Chaim Tannenbaum

Wow... almost every clip of this video could be an expensive peice in an art museum.

When being questioned by the police: Officer: So Ruby, why did the chicken cross the road? Ruby: I don't think jokes are appropriate right now...

The distress is shown so well by the characters but I love the subtlety in the imagery as well! This film is one of the rare ones that can speak with silence and "camera movement" alone-- from the disorienting city montage to the somehow innately distubing image of smashed biscuits and otherwise brand new groceries on the road as a perfect metaphor for life abruptly interrupted (and the dog eating the fish as other life inevitably continues). Ruby's chair that was tipped nonchalantly only a few minutes ago, is now lying on the floor recast in a more ominous light, and even the potato peels seem to acquire new meaning of a past that can't be returned to, even by adding the everyday banality of tea. The montage of the connections linking the separate citizens symbolically and literally was also beautifully done. I love the blending of animation styles for this video and I love how they are made full use of! Ultimately, for better or for worse, life goes on- and we have to learn to move with it.

This film is fantastic. I love how the animals look so human. The music choice and the feel of it all is brilliant. Impressionism is the way to go!!

"We are all connected"

This reminds me of my mother in a sweet way.

i searched for the scp but found this masterpiece 👍

Miss piggy looks so cute

This looks fantastic.

eating potato chips potato gets thrown in da bin starts crying

aawh - good old handmade art - beautifully artistic animation :) great how different styles just work well together - love it.

This is beautiful. Music, drawings, animation: huh... some water in my eyes? A bit disturbing... but... at least .... so beautiful. All is one.

I love how they brought back an old animation technique from the 30's and somehow managed to make it feel new ❤️

one of the greatest fuckin animations ive ever seen

I will never get over how "real" this looks.

I find this depressing and get a different message. Instead of affirming connection, I feel like it affirms that no life really matters. Folks go on with their days, For a brief moment Ruby is touched, and then goes on with her day. Just like us.

hauntingly beautiful

Rodoscoping could never look more beautiful at times like this
