What happens when a powerful device falls into the hands of scientist-turned-villain Doctor Moire? Who will rescue Halftone City from this oversized creep? Watch The Control Master and find out!

As always, Wrake is sharp, witty, fluent and by the same token his film puts us the viewers in a pensive mood - a lesson to think about.

I'd like to know what software was used to make this movie.
Thanks for asking, Sam. The images in Run’s movies are composited using Photoshop for the most part. He then animates and finesses all this nonsensical wonderfulness using Final Cut Pro.

Great work, too bad there's not as much humor as in "Rabbit", but the aesthetical choice alone makes this a must-see. Run, stick to these multiple-layered old-fashioned cut-outs. This style is becoming your welcome trademark. Cheers!
