Watch: Git Gob by Phillip Eddolls
I love this absurd little, one-minute animated film by Phillip Eddols.
In this animated short, two creatures wonder, “What is a hole?” They have different points of view. Their debate leads to an idea, an idea that changes the world.
Read on for a short Q&A with the Eddolls himself…
Settle the score: Tennis ball or planet?
Basket ball. Covered in really expensive felt.
Um.. Is that you doing the noises?
Yep I recorded all those voices into a toilet paper tube. And then edited the dialogue tracks, before arrival in Montreal. I didn’t know if we would keep it, but it was liked, so it stayed.
What’s going on now?
Making stuff.
Long answer: Working on another film. It takes advantage of physical effects, so that the physical effects auto animate some element for you.
Example: constantly blowing wind, and a really hairy creatures. The wind would constantly comb the hair in the same direction, and as such keeps it coherent as the creature moves.
Got any more stuff online?
It a fact.
ITS A FACT, I threw a puppet up at the metal ceiling of the studio and it stuck there. The puppets feet contain super strong neodymium magnets. And I never got it down, maybe its still there. ITS A FACT
