I remember seeing a teaser for this short animated film called Oktapodi a few years ago.  You can imagine how brief a teaser to a short is.  The teaser showed two octopuses in love, and then violently separated.  It looked fantastic, I wanted to see more and I vowed to follow their progress!

I promptly forgot about it.

Thankfully as with most things, the crème rises and presents itself eventually. Sometimes in strange places. I stumbled on the finished product this morning when someone embedded it in response to a Gizmodo story.

I looked up the website for this short and there are a few nice little making-of vignettes and a higher quality version of the film.  I’m endlessly fascinated by this type of film making.  It’s a great blend of lots of things that interest me.
