Spike Jonze Delves Into Animation: Mourir Auprès de Toi

In this awesome animated collaboration that came about between Spike Jonze and the very unique designer of embroidered bags that look like first edition books, Olympia Le Tan..A skeleton and his Red haired love interest jump through some Moby Dick sized hoops to be with each other. The usage of felt as the main material for stop motion animation is just fantastic, and definitely gives this short a unique flavor.

Its an incredibly cool little side project that the two collaborated for (With the animation work of Simon Cahn) in order to have fun, and it shows...Its a lighthearted romp with plenty of dirty humor and it does a great job showcasing Olympia Le Tan's amazing creations. Check out her website here, and the making of the short after the break!
