ちょう使いまわし

About This Movie

So, ちょう使いまわし is this unique piece from Tarafu Otani that really blurs the line between nature and digital art. The whole film is this fascinating time-lapse of snow falling, but what’s intriguing is how it’s layered over CG animation on a screen. It’s like watching a conversation between the organic and the artificial. The pacing feels meditative, almost hypnotic, drawing you into this serene atmosphere. It’s distinct not just for its visuals but for how it makes you ponder the relationship between reality and representation. There’s a subtlety to the way the animation interacts with the snow that gives it a peculiar charm. You might not find a lot of dialogue or action, but it speaks volumes in its stillness.
