Blik - Bastiaan Schravendeel

A nice example of 3D animation:

I like the character design, because its simple and doll-like without faces and simple colours. I don't think an animation needs facial expressions to tell what the characters are feeling.
The lighting on it is really nice, casting shadows to make the piece feel properly 3D.
The movements are very realistic, it feels like it has been rotoscoped over recorded film.
It feels quite pixilated in places which ruins the effect, but I still think it's a nice style generally.
However, the story isn't as interesting spread out over 8 minutes; if it had been cut shorter without unnecessary scenes then it would have been better.
