メキシカン・マウンテン

Story

Synopsis

A man falls in love with a cactus at first sight and takes a bite out of it. He takes a bite and runs around the fantasy world. When he is chased by a witch and runs away to the sea, his eyes are filled with the void! The next thing you know, your body shrinks and you're scurrying around like an ant on a stone slab. The next thing you know, your body shrinks and you're scurrying around like an ant on a pile of rocks. First, the movements of the characters are broken down into hundreds of still photographs, which are then colored, and then they are moved one by one in stop motion to create unrealistic actions. In addition to the method of creating unrealistic action by moving each image frame by frame, the film successfully combines live-action time-lapse photography to express the unique perspective imbalance, tropical color design, and obsession of the chase.
