Concrete Shape

About This Movie

Concrete Shape is quite an interesting piece. It’s got this unique vibe, heavily influenced by its setting at the Diego Rivera Anahuacalli Museum in Mexico City. The animation really stands out—Jesi Jordan relies on biodegradable materials which gives it a raw, earthy feel. You can see the hands-on approach in the special effects: Oaxacan clay and even chicken eggs are used, which is pretty cool. The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, allowing viewers to absorb the intricate visuals and the thoughts behind them. It’s like a blend of nature and creativity that feels very much rooted in its locale. Definitely distinctive, and not your typical animated fare.
