Here is a 'straight ahead' animation using thousands of sticky notes to tell a story.

The animator; Jeff Chiba Stearns, created this animation after toiling for years trying to make a career in animation he realised two things: he missed out on everything that was going on in the world and that he was over run with yellow sticky notes containing hundreds of to do lists! so it was a self reflective piece.

this can relate to many animators around the world and even very busy people so already it has a very precise but vast range of audience.

and in terms of the animation itself its very 'doodly' but in an interview Jeff said thats what his career is based around, and if this is the animation he likes doing then there is nothing wrong with that, i can relate to him very much as i prefer working in a similar way!

and the technique i am also fond of, the straight ahead animation, it relates to the kind of uncertainty or craziness/ sketchiness of the world.
