Steven Wilson : Drive Home
Directed by Jess Cope - 2013
Winner of the 2014 Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival Audience Award
From Steven Wilson's album 'The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)', Drive Home is the story of Charles, searching for his lost love, Lucy. One day a chance find triggers haunting memories and leads Charles towards the truth. Based on a short story and original artwork by Hajo Müller.
Both of those animations (Drive Home and The Raven that Refused to Sing) are done by one Jess Cope, a South African animator who also worked on Frankenweenie and whose style is influenced by Tim Burton. Ms. Cope and Mr. Wilson are perfect foils for one another, and I hope that they will work together again in the future. Louderthanwar
