Elements of Madness

Thanks for the awesome review, Elements of Madness!

Review: "Albatross Soup" (short film) from Cause + Effect.

Ever wondered what it would look like to animate confusion, to make visual the inner turmoil one feels when confronted with a complexity so rich and deep that it makes your brain feel like it must invert itself in order for the answer to reveal itself? One can’t help but speculate if that’s what inspired director Winnie Cheung, illustrator Fiona Smyth, and animation director Masayoshi Nakamura when creating the animated short film "Albatross Soup". Constructed around the lateral thinking puzzle, Cheung recorded over 50 people attempting to answer the esteemed riddle, the answers serving as the birthing point for a psychedelic ride through the cerebrum. What begins as a slightly silly dive into the ludicrous mutates into a darkly quiet, introspective funhouse of horrors.

Available for streaming on Vimeo now. #AlbatrossSoup
