Media Art: Paperman, the Oscar winning Short Animated Film

This week the Academy Award for Best Short Animated film was awarded to Disney's Paperman which was directed by John Kahrs and produced by Kristina Reed (who was actually kicked out for throwing paper airplanes) with Pixar head John Lasseter as executive producer.  It is a perfect example of a story arch with a clear begining, middle, and end as well as a clear theme and powerful emotional pull.  As we are gearing up to creating our own short animated films think back to the consise clarity that this wonderful film has to help keep you on track!
