“Second Hand” Trailer by Isaac King

By
on

A trailer for Second Hand, an attractive looking short by Isaac King. The idea: The term “second hand” refers to the ticking hand on a clock; it also describes re-used items. Would you rather save time? Or save stuff? This film examines the imbalance and waste created by these modern obsessions.

Also in Cartoon Brew...

    Looks quite interesting (and relatable!). I like how the hand-drawn detailing makes the CG sets and people not seem too cold and mechanical.

      Thanks for the comments! I thought I’d mention that there’s actually no real CG in there. Instead I combined drawing with stop-motion animation.

    I agree with Iritscen. The line drawing over top of the 3D is a nice touch.

    Interesting to see quite a few shorts now-a-days use animation to make people more aware of pollution and “green” topics. Which I find a good thing.

    One other short that pops to mind is the Oscar nominated “Let’s Pollute”.

    Knowing that this was made by Issac King, a stalwart of Headgear Animation in Toronto, this short MUST be good.

    Can’t wait to see the full thing.

    Thanks for the post!

    I agree with everyone, the style looks brilliant and seems to compliments the concept.
