I don't really like this, for a lack of originality.
I think the mood set and the 3d environment try to emulate the more than excellent work from 3d artist Shane Acker (http://www.shaneacker.com), and this can probably be seen in the short film "9" by Acker's studio.

I invite everyone to see it, as it's a terrificly well produced piece as well as having a beautiful story.

this piece won a prize at Ars Electronica 2005.

I just love the rep of this vicious voodoo doll - the movie doesn't give me a feel of the FEEL of teh doll though -- is it soft , can you cuddle it, will it socialise with other stuffed stuff?
