Whether you follow basketball or not you’ve probably heard the name Kobe Bryant. On January 26th, 2020 Kobe passed in a helicopter crash along with his 13 year old daughter Gianna and 7 other victims. This tragedy has shaken the world. Kobe was a hero to so many people and players around the world. There are many tributes dedicated to Kobe and his daughter whether that be in street art, art shown through the media, articles, and even short films. Like the one that one an Oscar in 2018 called “Dear Basketball.” This film was originally created when Kobe decided to retire from the game he loved so much. It has since resurfaced as many of the words and graphics relate to his passing and pull the heartstrings even more than it may have in the past context. The animation is so well done and truly illustrates Kobe’s life up until his retirement. Kobe will be missed along with the other 8 beautiful lives lost in such a sudden tragedy. Go give someone you love a hug. You truly never know what could happen.
I've seen this short film a few times, each time I was amazed by the writing and animation style.
ReplyDeleteLove Kobe and love the animation and the writing.
