Yellow Sticky Notes

Release date: 2007 (Canada)

Canadian Jeff Chiba Stearns wrote and animated this short 6-minute story of his life – thus far – using the ubiquitous yellow sticky notes we’re all oh-so-familiar with. Motivated by the realization that his film-making journey and to-do lists of yellow sticky notes had overtaken his life, Stearns uses the same medium as a means to self-reflect on events since 9/11. This short piece is a joy to watch with more revealed with each viewing of the some 2300 sticky notes. The catchy original soundtrack is courtesy Genevieve Vincent.

My rating for a great idea captured in an experimental and fun fashion 8 out of 10.
