A few bricks can make a big impression

“Greedy Bricks” by Mirko Horstmann (mirkoskop) is more than a decade old, but I find myself returning to it again and again.

Using just 10 pieces and less than 2 minutes, Mirko elegantly establishes characters and conflicts. The cinematography is simple and clean. There are no distractions here, nothing extraneous. It’s just great animation.
