Zero

This is a heartwarming Stop-Motion animation by the Zealous Creative.

It is meaningful and has the moral that something can come from nothing, and how we shouldn't be judged for who we are. It also indirectly attacks the class systems and divisions that we have in society.

What interested me first was the unique characters, armatures wrapped around with layers and layers of string, its unique and I like it.

The narrative follows a character, born as a zero, the lowest number in society. In this imaginative world, everyone has a number, those above Zero are pink and neatly wrapped in cotton on comparison to connote of their importance, whereas Zero's are murky, dull, and messily wrapped.

He lives his unlucky life, he is judged by his number, not given a chance as a person. Reflective of our society how if someone has low wealth, they are thought of as lower in society, or looks a certain way, racism for example. This animation sets out to prove otherwise. Because at the end, the main character meets a lady Zero, together they have a child, a child that is born with the highest number of all, infinity. 2 lowest people in society make a baby worth more than anyone, so meaningful.

My favourite scene is the start where we see the fetus, I love the camera pans and how you can instantly tell it is a fetus with the great effects. I also love how the baby changes through the classes.
