(Archive) Animated short film of the day: The Maker (2011)

Directed by Christopher Kezelos, the thesis this short presents is a simple one: what we make of it to leave others prepared for what this journey entails is what gives this life a purpose. That our legacy is in those which learned from us to keep going, that hand we give to others in an act of help, as our names may be forgotten but that knowledge remains. And for this effect, it uses no other technique than good ol' stop motion.

It's brilliant, really: when you require animation to have a sense of "craft", this is easily the best option due to how textured it all is. The physicality the technique carries brings to attention the fact these objects had to be put into the world when they didn't exist prior, which is pretty much ideal for a tale of a creature making one of it's kin so their knowledge remains once it's time comes. Creatures delightfully designed by Amanda Louise Spayd with quite the uncanny appearance that nevertheless grows on you. And that's nothing to say about Paul Halley's beautiful score, which was the inspiration of the short to begin with as it was created with the intent to try and make his music reach a wider audience, further supporting the short's thesis in actual practice.

Filled to the brim with esoteric imagery, it captures the imagination with a simple but striking story line executed with delicacy, beauty and just the tiniest sprinkle of humor to a very touching effect. Truly an example of the wonders of animation as a medium.

“The maker” review

"The Maker," a short stop-motion animation by Zealous Creativity and directed by Christopher Kezelos, the film scored 22 film Festival awards. Inhabitants of a workshop that is the entire world are creature-like models, each with a limited lifespan represented by an hourglass at the desk in the middle of the room . The story is about a composer who desires to pass on musical compositions made by them to someone after their impending death.

To achieve this, the composer decides to craft another creature, following the instructions found within a magical book that was one of the most important items in entire film . However, their creation initially remains lifeless. Only when the composer plays the violin in front of the puppet made by them does the creature come to life, showing the power of music in this world.

The plot turns dramatically when the two creatures finally meet each other while both of them are alive. However, this moving moment is extremely short as the musician disappears because of end of his time, leaving the newly raised to life puppet to face a new world.

The narrative's emotional shades are perfectly shown to the audience by the moving atmosphere, which are created by poor and yellow lighting, music which is classical and what is the most important about is that it adjusts to the tempo and events happening.

"The Maker" is a story of creation, connection, and the transcendence of life and that the death is inevitable, through music within a

hand-made workshop inhabited by unique creatures that might represent human beings .

„The Maker” – Review

12/10/2023

Today, during the Theatre Class we have watched a short movie called “The Maker”. The movie was projected on the screen in Sloneczna Aula by Mr. Kuba Gronczewski. The film was written by Christopher Kezelos and Ziad Jamal and directed by Christopher Kezelos. The idea behind the work, was to popularise a piece of music composed by Paul Halley, which the composer was unable to promote. According to IMDb the budget of the production was around $10.000.

The story shows a lift cycle of a puppet, which lives in a workshop and its main purpose of life is to create a new puppet. We can observe the harmony with music in which the character lives. The process of making a new form of life is shown as a ritual.

“The Maker” is a stop-motion animation based on a set of puppets created by an artist, Amanda Louise Spayd. The animations were very smooth and fit the whole setting of the movie. The mascots were detailed and looked as if they were really alive.

The overall setting of the movie created a mysterious, dark vibe, which was perfect for the plot of the movie. There must have been a lot of pressure put in the preparations of lighting, because it was ideally balanced. The music composed by Paul Halley, which was used in “The Maker” was a brilliant choice, it made the movie more majestic.

My overall experience was positive and I as far as I know, most of the people I watched it with had a similar impression. The film was entertaining and moving. I felt as if the characters were alive and really had souls. I plan to watch more short animated movies created by small studios, like that one.

[janstanczak]

„The maker” is an animation created by Chris Kezelos and animated by Mark Lagana in 2012, about a tiny little creature, which races against time to create another creature like himself out of scratch.

The stopmotion masterpiece begins with a start of an hoursglass, which promts the creature to start the process of assembling another creature in his workshop. After going through all the steps they assembled the creature, with sky-blue eyes.

Exquisite directing by Christopher Kezelos from Los Angeles accompanied by fantastic animation by Mark Lagana from Australia deepens the viewers excitement and anticipation, which gives to show how masterful these gentlemen are at their proffesion.

The animated story is full of masterful design and illustration by: Amanda Louise Spayd, David Cox and Brett Brimson, which make the play super attracting and entertaining to watch. Moreover the classical music, accelerating as the glasshour runs creates tention, which makes the viewer wanting to know what’s going to happen next.

Overall, “The maker” is a fantastic animation, which despite its duration of only 5 minutes manages to portray tremendously more than meets the eye, keep the viewer pinned to the screen at all times at the same time being aesthetically pleasing. For me the music is a game changer, it really does fit the play. I would advice everyone to watch this play, because it mentions the problem all of us face in only 5 minutes.

Review

"The Maker" was created by Christopher Kezelos and Mike Lagana in 2012 in Australia. It tells the story of a tiny plush creature that must create another of its kind to ensure the survival of the species.

The story begins with the flipping of an hourglass, marking the start of a time-sensitive process. The creature begins crafting a head out of clay and a body from a material. After completing the construction, he desperately attempts to bring his creation to life. Trying everything, he then discovers in a tutorial that he must play a song on a violin. He passionately starts playing, and finally, his creation awakens just in time before time runs out. Once the time has elapsed, he vanishes, passing the book with instructions to the new creature, and the entire process restarts with the flipping of the hourglass.

Since this is a stop-motion video, the actors are represented by miniature figures. Despite their size, all facial expressions and bodily features are highly detailed. They don't speak but use a written language. It's fascinating to watch as these seemingly lifeless puppets come to life.

The entire stage is meticulously designed, featuring miniature accessories with incredible attention to detail. It creates a dark and gloomy yet cozy atmosphere, complete with tiny lamps, printed books, and even strings on the violin. The level of detail is astonishing.

Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It conveys a meaningful message and is universally appealing. The plot is easy to follow and engaging. Its duration is perfect, and it never becomes boring. I would wholeheartedly recommend this stop-motion animation to anyone.

Review of the stop motion short movie animation on YouTube “The Maker”. It can be watched on YouTube and is around 5 minutes long. It was made to promote the song that plays in the background for the entirety of the movie. It was made in Australia and has one around 22 awards. 30 people worked on it spending about 6 months to obtain the final result. The director is Christopher Kezelos and the artist that created the creatures is Amanda Louise Spayed.

The action takes place in a small workshop of an animal - humanoid creature. The hourglass turns and the music begins, the creature (which we can assume is the Maker) starts reading from a leather book about its kind in a weird musical like language. It starts to take pieces to create another of its species, first it makes the face. While it is hardening the maker starts to make the body from wool and cotton. After that it combines it and adds eyes. Unfortunately nothing happens.

Then the Maker comes up with an idea and with the climax of the music starts playing the song on the violin, that works and the new creature comes to life. When this happens the two hug but the time on the hourglass has come to an end, and with it the Maker. It disappears and the new creature is destined to make a new creature for the survival of its species.

I would recommend the short animation because it is very well crafted, the music fits perfectly, and the animation is amazing.

Lesson4 the maker review

It was made by Christopher Kezelos, in 2011, using a stop-motion technique.

The movie starts very uncanny and distressing. At first I found the creatures not visually pleasing to say the least, but after a while I kind of got used to the whole aesthetic. The story is about a tall, rabbitlike doll, with clay face. He begins to make another doll, while racing agains time for unknown to us reason. The music is pretty well suited for the move, it matches with the rhythm and aids action. The visual aspect is outstanding, we can see how much time it did take to make it from the detailed room, filled with little things. Everything, down to the last details was well thought. I’ll give it a 8/10, because still, the story was nothing truly discovering and I don’t find the characters too good looking, but it might be also a intentional feature.

The Maker review

introduction:

From the very beginning, 'The Maker' sweeps the audience into a world where the shortness of life, mixes into a grotesque picture with the beauty of the new beggining, leaving spectators spellbound and eager for the unfolding drama. The Maker is a short animated film by Christopher Kezelos and the team of Zealous Creative produced in 2011. Imagine a place where imagination becomes real and where making things is like magic, and where life is among those things. We are going to take a closer look at this special animated movie, exploring how it is made and what makes it so unique. Even though it's not very long, 'The Maker' is a story that makes you think about life, art, and how extremely short our lives actually are.

”The Maker” review

"The Maker" is a short film that I had the pleasure of watching during a Theatre class at my school,  demonstrating the art of visual storytelling, taking the audience on an emotional journey that is both visually stunning and very moving. Directed by Christopher Kezelos, this stop-motion animation piece became a triumph in the world of short cinema. 

What sets "The Maker" apart is its ability to carry intense feelings without the use of dialogue. We meet a character that struggles with something we don’t yet know. After a while we can predict that he is on a mission to create another life. He has limited time and he is clearly stressed. The whole story revolves around a creature's quest to create a companion, another life. In order to do so he has to do a specific ritual. After a while of stress and problems he manages to fulfill his task. He brings to life a girl. When the time runs out he disappears and she is given the same quest as her friend previously had. The movie touches on topics such as loneliness, the human desire for connection, and the creative process itself. The simplicity of the narrative is trivial, however it manages to carry a depth of emotion that captures the audience.

In a silent film, the characters must rely on non-verbal communication to convey their emotions and intentions. "The Maker" is great in this aspect. The main character's expressive gestures and body language are skillfully animated, allowing us to empathize and connect with the character's quest. The creature's creation, its companion, embodies innocence and curiosity, making their relationship more emotional.

The film's music composed by Cornel Wilczek serves as the emotional part of the film. The music complements the visuals seamlessly, enhancing the audience's emotional connection with the characters and the whole story. Every note and sound effect is purposefully made to get the desired response from the viewer.

In conclusion, "The Maker" is a masterpiece of silent storytelling. Christopher Kezelos' direction, the stunning stop-motion animation, the emotional depth of the characters, and the music all come together to create a short film that leaves a memory. It’s a must-see for anyone who appreciates the artistry of filmmaking.
