Eskimo Surprise sheds light on why some individuals don’t like surprises. One unfortunate eskimo gets a birthday surprise that brings him closer to the fish he is trying to catch than he is bargaining for. An eskimo’s warm coat provides admirable protection from the snow and sleet, but a wetsuit is advised if you want to go in with the fish. For those you know appreciate a bit of humour, Eskimo Surprise is just the ecard.
Michael Vystavel is a Czech animator. Originally from Brno, he studied in London at Middlesex University under the tutelage of the revered Disney animator Vincent Woodcock who worked on Space Jam. Michael’s animations are unusual in today’s world as they are made in a traditional way using paints and paper. Each frame is painted individually and then played in sequence to give the illusion of movement. His work often has a macabre and humorous undertone, as exemplified by Eskimo Surprise.
