(Video link here.) When Honda engaged the ever-inventive filmmaker known as PES to make a short video about the company’s long history of innovation, he devised a NEW wildly labor-intensive form of animation. Not stop-motion, not flip-book, it is made by hand and paper, and shot by a camera, so has a quality of being from-scratch and old-fashioned in a strangely futuristic way.

Its intricate choreography of cut-out drawings speaks of a story way bigger than Honda’s. To us it is about the ways many creative projects really start and find their way via paper, collaboration, perseverance, fortitude…and a stunning amount of imagination.
