Estuary
ESTUARY is a sparse, meditational animation with some of the values and attributes of a visual haiku. Its images are loosely based on the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the James River. As an experimental work expressed through forms in motion, ESTUARY treats hand-drawn animation as an analog to dance and poetry. Concept, animation, and graphics by Warren Bass.

Limburg the Netherlands, 2022. We see a typical small Dutch town in the province of Limburg. A boy that turned 5 today, goes out with his mother for his birthday cake. While his mother is talking to some random acquaintance, the boy - our protagonist - looks a little bored. He then takes a look in the stroller the acquaintance is pushing. He is shocked by what he sees. The three-year-old toddler in the buggy looks like a zombie! Later, at the bakery, the same thing happens and he again sees zombies around him. People enter the bakery as a human, pick a number, and turn into a zombie. Even his own mother turned into a zombie while waiting! Outside - on the street - it is also a maze of cycling, tractor- driving and car-driving zombies. The same thing at the bus stop. Where a bus packed with zombies flies by. When they get home the birthday party is in full swing. We see the birthday garlands hanging in front of the window. People are singing and our boy is about to unwrap his present. It's a brand new phone. His own phone! Overjoyed, the birthday boy turns on his present... And turns into a zombie.
