Pendulum


A short animation produced by Tekken, a Japanese animator in 2012. It has a piano background music in the original video, but I enjoy this version more.

It leads us through the life of a man and a woman with a very unique way representing the lapse of time, which is using a clock  pendulum swinging in the frame of the animation while the characters movements are animated in the bottom bit of the pendulum. And it leads to the scene near the last part where the soul of the man trying to stop the movement of the pendulum in order to stop his wife from growing old and dying eventually. It all happens fast, therefore I watched it several times to understand all the information that it's trying to deliver.
