“Mindplotter” is an amazing 1/2 min. hardcore animated motion design short film, which the directors describe as a symbol of the creative process for all filmmakers in the field of animation. For them, the act of emerging creativity involves being able to switch between two stages, inspiration and creation. Creativity is represented as the duality and interpenetration of the internal and outer world, consisting of both a calm and beautiful sea creature confronted with the menacing violence generated by a metallic fighting machine. “Mindplotter” conceives of creativity as the interaction of peaceful introspection with aggressive acts into the external world, violently staking its claim to artistic innovation.
However, while it professes to understand creativity as a mutually interactive duality, rather than in terms of polar opposites, the film’s view of artistic creativity as one that aggressively establishes itself by destroying the old order of things is in fact a polarized one. “Mindplotter” disregards the many possibilities of more peaceful declarations of creative discovery. In this way, the film fails to pay attention to or recognize the fact that by choosing to go down one road, the course of dark and destructive aggressiveness, there were an infinite number of other paths not taken, paths that might well have turned out to be as good or even better.
This piece includes a number of colorful illustrations from the film, as well as the stunning hardcore animated motion design short film, “Mindplotter.”
