It
is very rare that one can tell a story in two minutes. Especially when the
story is touching and close to the heart.
But
that is exactly what Jonathan has done with his short film “Sherry- like the
drink”.
It
is about a lady who was a teacher by profession but more than that she was a
friend for many. In the small town she lived, people always flocked to her for
advice and help and she was more than willing to oblige.
The
title of the film is an ode to how she lived her life. And through out the film,
the focus on her character as she was in real life is highlighted, as bubbly, fun
loving, helpful, inspiring, and always with a zest for life.
The
whole picture tells the story of her attachment towards the kids and the people around her. The music by Chris
Revgel is just wonderful and in perfect tune with the cartoon characters. I
like the way the children are shown playing in the park and how a child uses
the slide to join his group.
The
animation was done on paper and inked with ink liners, scanned and coloured
digitally.
