This is a brilliant hand drawn animated short. In Damon the Mower the title character is swinging his scythe and his figure is drawn in different positions so the scythe stays in the frame even when he moves it way to the left or right or above his head; so sometimes part of the character goes off the edge of the paper. The drawings are on small cards placed on a table to be photographed. The camera is framed wide enough to see several inches around the card, so when the framing of the action changes the card is moved frame by frame to see all of the action; so even though the card moves, the character stays in the same place. The drawings are sketchy and a little rough, but the effect is mesmerizing.
