The Boy Who Cheated Death



This mixed media animation by Pipou Phuong Nguyen was made in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon last year. The music is Floyd's "The Great Gig in the Sky." The description lays out the story.

In a world blurring reality and imagination, Syd, a little 8-year-old boy faces his mother’s impending demise. Desperate to hide from the grasp of Death, they embark on an imagined hide-and-seek game, morphing into Earth’s creatures. Death plays along as their relentless predator.

  1. Wow, that's heavy. I would have never conjured those images listening to that piece, which I've done a million times.
    Buy I suppose that music could back most any tale.
