Until I saw the "making of" video, I thought it was made by manipulating the cut-outs digitally. I didn't realize it was actually multi-plane mineature stage sets. It's a masterful little piece of <em>story-telling</em>, as well. A heroic drama in 60 seconds. And I agree with you about the appeal of non-digital work (as much as I enjoy well-done digital stuff).

And the making of is worth the watch, it's lovely to get a peek inside the thoughts of the creator(s). And in this case, rather enlightening as to how they do it. I wish more ads were like that, beautiful works in themselves that please the mind and the eyes, rather than a kick in the neo-cortex like most advertising is nowadays ... And hey, whilst digital animation is really growing, there is something about the feel that analog work gives that is unbeatable in it's own way.
