A Very Cool Short Animated film

Hey!
So I was reading January´s copy of American Cinematographer (for some reason Ecuadorian customs decided to hold on to my copies of this year´s American Cinematographer and just delivered them to me yesterday) and there was an interesting article about the cinematography and effects done for Ben Lovett´s music video for "Eye of the Storm" and how they were based on a short film called "The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello". I decided to check the short film out because "Eye of the Storm" is actually super cool. Anyways, it is one of the most beautiful and unique short animated films that I´ve seen in a while. The style is steampunk silhouettes and reminds me a lot of Chinese Shadowplay (a form of puppeteering that has had enormous influence on Chinese National Cinema). Basically, if you have 26 minutes to spare, it is well worth watching!

Here is the film:
