Jeff Scher, who describes himself as "a painter who makes experimental films and an experimental filmmaker who paints" has a beautiful animated short in the New York Times.
"Walking is life at its most immediate. The combination of people and places changes constantly and never repeats. It makes you small in the face of sheer numbers, but at the same time it’s reassuring. It’s nice to be one of the fish in this teeming sea.
This film is an attempt to capture the feeling of looking at people. And it’s o.k. to stare, they are only flickering watercolor ghosts of people observed fleetingly on a summer afternoon in midtown. Shay Lynch’s score adds drama to the mystery."
