Lev Yilmaz is a genius. Not only has he cottoned onto the cheapest form of “animation” possible (filming himself drawing on the opposite side of a back-lit sheaf of paper that “hides” his drawing hand sufficiently for it to appear that his simple line drawings are animating into being – just watch the youtube clip to understand) he also is a genius in his droll monotone delivery of a human insight. Be it about procrastination or getting a girlfriend; there’s truth (and sadness) and humour in what he has to say. Its only a matter of time until he’s either ripped off or gets paid some serious dosh for a very cool technique to deliver dry commentary on the human condition.
