Phantom Limb - Alex Grigg

This beautiful animation was introduced to me by one of my classmates last year:


Phantom Limb from Alex Grigg on Vimeo.

The story has been told very well through the style and fluidity of the animation; you can tell the arm is a part of the man's imagination due to the liquid-like edges compared to the rest of the animation, but it still looks real.
The smooth change between scenes also contributes to how well the story is told, allowing it to run smoothly and pass through time efficiently.
The lack of dialogue allows the viewer to become more emotionally engrossed into the film as they are imagining what it would be like to feel how the characters do.

Alex Grigg uploaded all of his work, the development process of this piece, to a blog, and explained how he got from point A to point B:
