Just In Case

[ 01:12 ]
JUST IN CASE is a short animated film about the dangers of laziness. The consequences of a sedentary philosophy are depicted in vivid colors. Even if we can’t prove that global destruction is around the corner, we might as well do our best to prevent it, just in case. The voices for the characters are graciously and deftly provided by Sutton Foster and Fred Applegate – stars of the new Broadway musical of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. The film was created through a collage of 3D animation with guache paintings and pages from The New York Times.

Badly Drawn Roy
The film is set in the present day in a working class suburb of Dublin. We meet Roy, Ireland’s only living animated character. He was born in 1972 into an ordinary ‘live action’ family. This fly on the wall documentary film allows us exclusive access into Roy’s life where we learn of the prejudices he must overcome on a daily basis. Roy is intelligent but unfortunately for him he is badly drawn. The film charts his increasing desperation at failing to gain steady employment. His animated body prevents him from securing regular manual jobs and his poor rendering has seen him rejected from countless animation auditions. This desperation is finally too much for Roy and with the support of his family and friends he emigrates to Hollywood in search of fame, fortune and corrective surgery.

Subject #164
Filmed in the early 60s, this laboratory documentary follows a newly discovered and apparently unintelligent Neanderthal human-like specimen which is found, through testing, to have amazing logic-solving intelligence. We observe the progress of 'Subject #164' over a period of approximately three years as scientists document its behaviour and progress, until in the end it is exhaustively tested to death.

Seeds Of Change
This film-short views “tolerance” from the perspective of the Earth as a living organism, and “being” that may have had to exercise great tolerance toward human beings, as humans have, particularly in the last century, shown an ever-increasing lack of respect, and carelessness toward the earth; our home. Just as human beings of differing race, color, and religious belief deserve each other’s respect, which at times requires “tolerance,” or the act of voluntarily choosing to regard others as ourselves, so-to the earth then, deserves the respect of human beings toward her. At the core of the disharmony we now see on the planet, evidenced by toxic waste being dumped in our water sources, a cocktail of chemical poisons in every breath of air we breath, chemical pesticides sprayed on our food sources, and global warming threatening the balance of the natural world; our home, is the fundamental error in thinking we human beings are separate from earth: Independent, and not interdependent. Its abundantly clear if one is paying attention at all, human beings have “missed the mark.” In our hubris we have forgotten the earth is our home, and even our mother, as most tribal cultures consider earth to be, and as such, we must repay our mothers with gratitude, respect, and honor for her gift of life. With these well-known images of earth as home, and mother juxtaposed with images of ill-health on the planet today, it is clear human beings have lost the profound, and necessary connection to earth that is required to achieve balance, or “homeostasis” and health.
