I stumbled on a truly extraordinary piece of content the other day. An animated short delivered so perfectly, as the credits appeared you felt like you’ve sat through a full-length motion picture.  The Cat Piano is an 8-minute short film directed by Eddie White and Ari Gibson. Featuring the voice of iconic Australian artist Nick Cave narrating a poem written by director Eddie White.

The beat of this amazing piece draws its inspiration from that of the great Jack Kerouac , with a balanced blend of the traditionally haunting Edgar Allen Poe.

“In a city of singing cats, a lonely beat poet falls for a beautiful siren. When a mysterious dark figure emerges, kidnapping the town’s singers for his twisted musical plans, the poet must save his muse and put an end to the nefarious tune that threatens to destroy the city.”

The film’s graphic 2D look is achieved by animating the entire film by hand in Adobe Photoshop, drawing with Wacom tablets directly into the computer.
