Synopsis

In the space of 10 minutes, the African baobab tree grows 0.008mm, the fastest dog in the world, the Greyhound, can
run 12km, and the Earth travels 18,000km around the Sun. “Movements” is a 10-minute animated film which I drew at
a rate of 2 seconds of animation per day. We are all walking, seeing, working, running, and stopping together.
