This may be hard to believe but “The Meaning of Life” (2005) was made WITHOUT the use of computers, post-production compositing, or digital tools. It’s a combination of trick photography, light FX and hand drawn animation!

Despite being only 12mins, “The Meaning of Life” (2005) is the result of nearly 4yrs of production and tens of 1000s of drawings, single-handedly paper animated and photographed by Hertzfeldt.

Not sure if it includes Rejected or what, but it'll be nice to see Don's work on a big screen and not in potato quality […]

One thing I need to buy for my new place is a picture frame to hang this signed #donhertzfeldt print from World of Tomorrow episode 3.

He is the literal reason I own a blueray player.
