Animated short: Reverso by Kimberly Honma, Clément Lauricella and Arthur Seguin

Reverso is a French animated short by Kimberly Honma, Clément Lauricella and Arthur Seguin about a boy who experiences life upside down as “his sense of gravity is inverted.”

I’ve been watching a lot of shorts without dialogue as of late, part of my effort to better understand how to “show don’t tell” when presenting a story. Reverso is a great example of this, establishing mood and back story through character reactions and tiny details. It’s a good piece through and through.
