Paperman

2012 · 7 min · Animation, Comedy, Drama · Directed by John Kahrs

A black-and-white romance told without a word: a young office clerk glimpses a woman on a train platform, then spends an afternoon flinging paper aeroplanes from a skyscraper window hoping to find her again. Disney built a bespoke hybrid pipeline for it, inking lines by hand directly over CG.
