Hat Tip to Matt for pointing us to this post at Ectoplasmosis. Two parts beautiful and three parts disturbing you’re unlikely to forget this video for the rest of the day. It somehow seems a fitting video following my previous post. It tells the story of one man’s love for the giant squid…which is still illegal in California.

This is absolutely beautiful. I love it for the craftsmanship as well as the story. Probably important to note the animation was directed and animated by Lisa Barcy.

At YouTube she mentions in the comments section that this is part of a larger animated film called “Mermaid”. I would love to see it on the big screen.

I’m aware that I’m commenting to a three years old post, but the site linked to above is gone and the video is so great that it deserves to stay visible. It is on vimeo here: http://vimeo.com/7256235
