`White' was a simple but well made cupcake of short film. It was simple, thoughtful and is one of the few made-in-singapore short animated films that look `expensive'. I quote one of the audience members, that it has nice small gestures within the larger movements. They seem almost like a tell-tale sign of good animation.
According to Wei Keong, he gets inspired a lot by Japanese anime. Though `White' has a lot of Tim Burton in it. I feel it is a very universal and viewer-friendly piece that has probably helped Wei Keong's `White' travel the film festival circuit. Its colours are dark but peacefully dark. And the simplicity of the set gives it a very zen feel.
I have a question though about why the present had a square and he wanted to abandon his white square head for a another square head. It might have worked better if it was a triangle or something.Back in school, I remember having a good laugh with my schoolmates about some other pupils who had squarish faces or heads. So perhaps Wei Keong shared the evil streak as me!
