One of my fellow editors (Jessica, take a bow) found this charming animated film on another art blog, Acuarela. The video's been circulating around the office, and it's a hit. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

The artist is Will Kim, a recent graduate from Cal Arts and currently an M.F.A. student in Animation at UCLA. All of the artwork in the film is done in watercolor.

Warning: If your Internet connection is as slow as mine, you'll want to let the video load completely before you watch it to avoid a lot of stops and starts.




The Palette of the Ocean will be screened at the 5th Annual San Francisco Ocean Film Festival, February 1-3, 2008, at the Cowell Theater at Fort Mason Center.
