It's Such A Beautiful day is and animation created by Don Hertzfeldt. It deals with themes of memory loss as well as humour.
This animation is a perfect example of utilising images to create an atmosphere. You never really see a fully formed background, it is always just certain aspects of the environments.
Combining photography and simple animation is perfectly executed in this animation. The animator uses little visuals, yet gives an intense and emotional pay off.
Using a pin-hole effect, Don hertzfeldt creates sceneries and atmospheres in a direct and experimental way. It makes the viewer focus more on the dialogue and what's going on rather that having complicated backgrounds that distract.
Even though the animation is based on a stick man, it is laced with serious themes. Here, You can see how the animator as imposed the silly designs on top of a hazy and warm background to evoke emotions. This scene is a content scene. To portray a sense of forgiveness, the background is warm and in turn, gives the animation a deep and emotional feel.
