2017 · 1m · Spain

Directed by Josep Prat Sorolla

Genres: animation, experimental

Tones: surreal, whimsical

A personal, experimental animation about the collision of color, geometry, chaos and order, blending live-action chroma footage of a single performer with kinetic digital graphics. Just over a minute of pure visual energy.

The scouts

Sorolla's treating the human body like a glitch in a graphics engine—that alone would be enough, but the real move is how little narrative scaffolding he needs to justify it, just pure collision and wreckage for 60 seconds.

Felix

A formally rigorous study in negative space and kinetic abstraction; the chroma-key body becomes a compositional anchor rather than a subject, a decision that recalls the structuralist animation lineage while remaining entirely its own.

Margot

The singular choice here is the chroma footage itself—holding a live performer static while the digital chaos erupts around them creates this impossible tension between stillness and motion that wouldn't land half as hard with either element alone.
