A group of logs is about to freeze to death in a cold, icy desert. When they realise that the only fuel for warming fire is their own body, things starts heating up. The animation is mostly hand drawn I believe by computer programme, the species of the logs could be differentiate by their colours and texture and it is more interesting that just logs in the same type. The characters are designed quite simple but showing a lot of characters for instance the thin little stick is definitely the youngest one while the short, wrinkled log is the eldest. I learn that using body shape to bring out an character and allow them to be more diverse, letting audience to understand their act in the story is very important. I think this animation is reflecting the environmental problem of deforestation and desertification that why only a few logs are left in this server condition. This also makes me wonder what if this situation is applied onto human, will human sacrifice their friends and family for survival or we shall be moral to help each other, escaping the tragedy together? This animation has encourage me to animate something more meaningful rather than just for fun. If I can submit an animation and which would then go viral, it is better to be meaningful and have to power to make people think.
