Hey guys, I have a Lost Media request for you guys, which is why I joined this server. Allow me to describe it in as much detail as I can remember.
----------------------------------------
I need help finding this one Stop Motion Animated short. I think I remember that it was like a special on Nick News with Linda Ellerby. I think it was somewhere in the range before the year 2002, given how old I was when I saw it, and it may or may not have been a rerun. This might help you with finding it, though I cannot recall which episode it was.
The short, from what I recall, it showed this Clayamation Stick Figure-like character running down a path. To describe the figure more, he had no facial features and it was like if you made a simple stick figure character out of one color of clay, if that's a good description. The path he was running down (yes, running, not walking) was straight forward, and the camera was positioned forward so it was like he was continuously running towards the screen.
As he was running, you'd see various things moving in the background, on both sides of the path he was running down. I cannot remember what they actually were though, I think it was like other smaller clay figures running or waving or something else like that?
Then after a few moments of showing the clayamation figure running, it then cuts to short scenes of various real live children discussing traumatic experiences they've had. Then it cuts back to the Clay Man running, then the children's traumatic experiences, then the clay man running, and so on. It repeats this to the end.
At the end, the Running Clay Person is now zoomed up very close, then a jail door comes down directly in front of him and he is grabbing onto the bars, wanting out.
I can't seem to find it on Youtube or anything, or what episode of Nick News it aired on. All I know is that I recall really liking it back then.
It was part of Nick News, at least from what I can recall. Though there might be a possibility it was just airing alongside it. I know it was too long to be a bumper, and the fact that it had short parts of real live children discussing traumatic experiences made it seem more like something that was on that program. And given how old I was when I saw it, it was on the episodes that aired before 2002. I cannot recall exactly what the children said in it though. It's been a while
Can anyone help me find it?
