"Bug-Beat" (WINNER 2002 - Best Animation)
(USA) Short Animation
Filmmaker: Tim Hynes
Beta SP / 2 min 14 sec
Animator and director Tim Hynes brings a clever household insect to life in this "offbeat" (no pun intended) animated short. Within the walls of his domestic dwelling and utilizing his ingenuity and resourcefulness, the bug builds a makeshift drum set from household trash he’s collected. Oh, if only humans could capture such sound effects from an old spice jar and Dixie cup! The bug’s confidence as a drummer begins slowly, but then quickly escalates into a jam session of no return.
