Satoshi Kon was an animator who used editing to tell stories in innovative, complex, and challenging ways. This short video describes how editing and animation push storytelling to a new level using the brilliant Satoshi Kon as an example.
Tony Zhou narrates and edited this awesome video which shows examples of Kan’s editing style, intercut with examples of similar sequences from live action films.
“Kon’s work was about the interaction between dreams, memories, nightmares, movies and life. The matching images were how he linked the different worlds.”
The video ends with a brilliant one-minute short of how it feels to wake up in the morning.
Your mornings will never be the same.
