Slik Willy

About This Movie

Slik Willy is quite the unique piece in the animation space, really. It blends abstract hand-drawn animation with a mix of soundscapes and narration that pulls you into its world. The way it plays with textures from 35mm transparencies gives it a distinct visual feel, almost ethereal at times. I find the pacing intriguing—it's not rushed, allowing you to soak in the visuals and sounds, creating an immersive atmosphere. The use of an optical printer for the final compositing sets it apart, showcasing a commitment to practical effects that's rare these days. It's definitely a film that feels like an exploration, weaving themes of perception and reality that linger long after the credits roll.
