2022 The Kid and the Camera


What Happens

Young Cailen is gifted a camera, and he absolutely loves it. He takes the camera with him everywhere and shoots everything he can, until an accident happens and the camera gets cracked. That night, unable to sleep, a strange fairy comes to his window and says he can fix the camera. 

What could go wrong?

Commentary

This is stop-motion animated, and not the smooth stuff we have today, but the janky, jerky style from the 1970s. This whole film is very retro, including VHS interference and overexposed images. I don’t remember this one from my childhood, but it looks like I should. 

We had a pretty good idea where this was going, but it’s fun to watch it unfold. Very cool!
