... View MorePriestley's work is described best as "colorfully independent", mostly because most independent works, especially animation, that I've seen involve a lot more brooding qualities and cynicism, while Priestley's is mostly just open and friendly. Having her, then, make a short about her phobias is interesting because you get to see anxiety from someone who doesn't make a career out of being anxious.It's pretty much meta-narrative, or self-portraiture here (one part even has her speaking into a camera live-action). What Priestly does understand about the medium itself--and she shows this in all of her works--is that animation has the ability to shape and morph character and setting in any way imaginable, so then we have the obvious images of her getting fatter while discussing worrying about being fat, and aging quickly when she worries about her age, but other stuff such as her hair twisting and sometimes falling into abstract movements and shapes help bring the ideas across as well.--PolarisDiB
