I recently watched this brilliant short film made in claymation called "More". Concieved by Mark Osbourne in 1997, "More" is about an unnamed man living in a grayscale world. He lives depressed, with his dehabilitating job not helping matters. The only thing that gives him any kind of solace is his memories of childhood. However, that's not enough, and he begins inventing a machine that changes his view on life. However, he loses an important part of himself...

If you watch MORE, you might find it compelling. In many ways, it's a visual parable on greed and it's negative effects on one's humanity. It's only a little over six minutes long, But a compelling story and great animation shows why it was nominated for an Academy Award for best short subject.

Watch MORE at the director's website at:

Sounds cool- There is actually a funny short cartoon by Mitchell Rose also titled "More". It's basically making fun of our desire to want "more" of everything. I haven't seen it on YouTube, but Mitchell Rose does have a Web page:

Thanks for the feedback, but it sounds like you didn't even see the short itself. I DID provide a link to the director's website.
