The Heart of the Matter: Stop Motion Short

This wonderful stop-motion animation short , The Heart of the Matter, was made by animator Reuben Loane during his final year in the animation program at The university of Glamorgan in 2012. The film revels the inner workings of wishing wells, the Earth’s rotation, and love, following the story of a man who is anxiously practicing his proposal to his girlfriend. When the man tosses a coin into the wishing well to improve his chances, it turns out the the coin-operated machine that turns the world is running low on credit and the man’s coin isn’t enough to keep it turning.
