MORE, a short film by Mark Osborne, is now 10 years old. In 1999 it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, and won many other awards. Created entirely with stop-motion animation, and designed in enormous IMAX format, a years worth of work resulted in 6 minutes of film.
The film tells the story of a bleak society, and a sad inventor who misses his childhood. He invents "Bliss" to escape the terrible grey world, but ultimately becomes what he sought to defy.
The mood is largely created by the epic, swirling, and mournful soundtrack, which is New Order's "Elegia."
New Order - Elegia
Director Mark Osborne says the track was the inspiration for MORE: "While listening to the song I freeformed images and visuals I had been kicking around for years and they fell into place thanks to the moods, drama and structure of the song."
Compare it to the mood of the music video for Hell Bent by Kenna, which uses an edited version of the film and replaces the music; it just isn't the same.
