Set in Motion

About This Movie

Set in Motion is a curious piece of animation from Jane Aaron, diving into a world where colored bars and shapes glide over household objects. It’s minimalist but engaging, creating an almost hypnotic atmosphere. The pacing is leisurely, allowing for a sort of meditative experience as the visuals unfold. There’s a thematic exploration of movement and perception, inviting viewers to reconsider the mundane spaces around them. The practical effects are worth noting too; it’s impressive how they manage to animate everyday items, imbuing them with life without needing a narrative. It’s not typical animated fare, but that’s what makes it distinct - a quiet reflection rather than a loud spectacle.
