An experimental 3D animation about the experience of stuttering, in which imagery morphs programmatically to the rhythm of Paganini's Caprice No. 24.

The scouts
3D animation about stuttering scored, performed, and programmed by one guy to Paganini Caprice 24 — auteur to the point of derangement. I respect the obsession even when the result drifts.
Buhr scores and programs his own Paganini-synchronized 3D animation about stuttering — the auteur consolidation alone interests me, and Short of the Week's experimental imprimatur is meaningful. A modest but formally precise object.
Short of the Week-curated experimental 9-minute piece synced to Paganini's Caprice No. 24, with Buhr directing/composing/programming solo — that's a one-person formal feedback loop. The Short of the Week framing ("experimentation… find your voice") signals this is rough and personal rather than polished, which I take as a compliment.
