So, 'Skyscraper' from 1989 is this fascinating piece of animation that's more like an MTV ident than a traditional short. It captures that late '80s vibe, you know? The pacing is quick, almost frenetic at times, which fits perfectly with the experimental animation style of the era. The visuals are a mix of bright, bold colors and abstract shapes that really play with perception and space, giving it a unique atmosphere. It’s not about a storyline – it’s about that feeling of height and urban life. Practical effects? Well, it’s all animation, but the way they blend different techniques feels fresh and engaging. It’s definitely a snapshot of its time, and I think it says a lot about the influence of music video culture on animation.
