States of Matter

About This Movie

States of Matter plays with the essence of animation, using wax and paper to build its narrative. It’s really an exploration of form and fluidity, you know? The film draws heavily from Fischinger's techniques, which gives it this layered, tactile feel. The pacing ebbs and flows, mimicking the states it represents—solid, liquid, gas. You can almost feel the temperature changes in each frame. The atmosphere? It’s a blend of whimsical and contemplative, inviting viewers to ponder the nature of existence itself. Hauck's dedication shines through; the practical effects are a standout. Each scene feels like a tangible piece of art, rather than just a digital creation. It’s not something you see every day, that’s for sure.
