Tim Minchin’s Storm directed by DC Turner
January 11th, 2010 admin
I got a kick out of this trailer for Storm , a nine-minute animated short based on a ‘beat poem’ by Australian comedian and writer Tim Minchin. The film is directed by DC Turner, and animated by Turner and Fraser Davidson. The filmmakers have a blog where they’re sharing artwork from the short while Minchin’s original poem can be heard here. (Thanks, Dan Pinto )
