879

About This Movie

So, 879 is this intriguing animation piece that plays with Hitchcock’s 'North by Northwest' in a really unique way. It’s made from 879 still images, which gives it a very distinct, almost stilted pacing that contrasts sharply with the fluidity of traditional animation. The black and white aesthetic carries a certain haunting quality, and it feels like you're peering into a dreamscape of suspense and tension. The way the stills are manipulated creates an atmosphere that’s both eerie and nostalgic. It’s fascinating how those still images can evoke such emotion and tension, even without movement. Definitely a curious experiment in visual storytelling, and it makes you think about how much can be said with so little.
