The rise and fall of Doctor Cerebro

by Mariano Mendiburu Elica

From the Film Maker...

This painting made me think in terms of rhythm rather than storyline. There are two opposing characters, Beauty and Old Age, linked by a third one, Time. (Part of the cycle where everything that is beautiful gets old and dies, and then something beautiful is born again.) It inspired me to set a pace where an action starts, stops, and then starts all over again. I looked for that contrast in my animation, a constant change of rhythm and attitude.
