Killing Time At Home by Neil Coslett

From watching this short film, i've realised that there is practically no restrictions atall for short films.
animation is used and no voices are used in this piece, the storyline is simple, it is that of iscolation and killing time, the only thing to do when you are alone is to kill time.
"killing time at home" lasts 3 minutes and portrays the very dark fact that friends are disposable, you make them and you break them, this is portrayed through the awkward looking animations and lugubrious colouring of everything;

from just watching the protagonist buy a friend it directly strikes the social dilema of friendships being disposable (disposablefriends.com), no matter what way you look at it, being simply able to buy and throw away people.

with there being no voice in the entire short film it shows that you needn't communicate with people to be their friend, and that they'll know that you are throwing them away even when you don't directly say it, you can have your fun then throw them away.

the piece is directed animated and written by neil coslett. it was created for blackwatch channel
