So there’s an annual contest called the Jameson Empire Done In 60 Seconds Competition, and it asks people to “remake” any movie and compact it into 60 seconds.
Here’s Inception done with vintage artwork on paper cutouts, made by Wolfgang Matzl, one of ten finalists in this year’s competition in Germany:
Most of the entries that made it through are more conventional or go for meta jokes, but that one’s pretty creative. Didn’t win, apparently, but clever nonetheless.
Any entry with such gorgeous ink drawings and paper art would have my vote (my useless little vote).
The dialogue is s damn quaint. I expected him to say “fa-la-la” after everything and have the paper men skipping into the dreamscapes.
“Excuse me, sir, I have to plant this idea in your mind.”
The dialogue is exactly what happens but I love his inflection. Plus the animation and paper-head-levels are really cool.
