This very entertaining animated video follows a monotonous day in the life of Lucky, an Indian taxi driver, and his experiences with all his different passengers. We follow Lucky on his quest to earn enough money to buy the air-conditioned taxi of his dreams. Will he make it?
Amazing how the subtle lift of any eyebrow or the frowning of a mouth on these clay characters can say everything without any words. And you gotta love Lucky's cute little son.
It's amazing how much tedious work -- being passed back and forth across the oceans -- must have gone into this piece, which was a creative collaboration between animators in India and in Northern Ireland. Watch the end credits and you'll see the evidence of this, as the Irish and Indian names fade up.
This is one to watch and to return to often to replay to catch every nuance. Enjoy.
