You've probably heard of short films before, but you'll only need a fraction of a minute to watch this one-second film.
'Full Secs' is a series of user-submitted animation shorts that involve only one second of action. There is an introduction, which typically simply involves graphics to set the stage and give context to the action to follow. Next comes the one second action stage. It happens so fast that you could blink and miss it. One would assume such a fast film would be perfectly suited for the short attention spans of online users and the millennial generation.
Full Secs is actually a Vimeo page that challenges artists to create and submit their own one second film. The submission shown here represents a universally understood moment of anxiety: the moment when your alarm goes off first thing in the morning.
