Touching upon the very important phenomena of how technology has taken over our world and how much we relay on it for literally every part of our lives, short animated film 'Dip N’ Dance' does a beautiful job portraying our obsession.
Directed by Hugo Cierzniak and produced at Delapost Paris, 'Dip N’ Dance' comically shows the audience how the technology we think we own ends up owning us. The best thing however about this amusing and stunningly done film are the sketches and illustrations created to make this cautionary tale come to life. Whether you enjoy the crafty and humorous sketches or the actual film that follows the life of a rich man living in a completely tech-operated home, the message is clear: we have become so completely enamored with technology.
