synopsis - Yellow Sticky Notes


(Canada/2007/Jeff Chiba Stearns/6 min/Animation)
Language: English

After realizing that “to do” lists on yellow sticky notes were consuming his life, animation filmmaker Jeff decided to reflect on his journey as a filmmaking byanimating on the very same sticky notes that distracted him from the major world events over the last nine years. Animation-meditation is blended with image, text, and an original musical score through the creation of a classically animated experimental film that was drawn straight ahead with only a black ink pen on over 2300 yellow sticky notes.
