Curiosidades

It's Such a Beautiful Day is a 2012 American adult animated experimental tragicomedy film written, directed, animated, photographed, produced, and narrated by Don Hertzfeldt. It follows the daily life of a man named Bill as he tries to manage the various symptoms of an unknown terminal illness.

Production

Six years in the making, the completed film was captured entirely in-camera on a 35 mm rostrum animation stand. Built in the 1940s and used by Hertzfeldt on every project since 1999, it was one of the last surviving cameras of its kind. The film blended traditional hand-drawn animation, experimental optical effects, trick photography, and digital hybrids that were printed for photography one frame at a time.

The film's signature split-screen effect was achieved by framing the drawn animation through tiny holes placed beneath the camera lens during photography, with each element in the film frame individually composited through careful multiple exposures. Towards the end of production of the final chapter, the old camera's motor began to fail and it could no longer advance the film properly, riddling the final footage with unintentional light leaks.
