We have been watching BradlyWerley very closely, patiently awaiting the newest addition to his Egg Noggin world, but were pleasantly surprised with what he came back with, something completely new and fresh.
Whisk: Chapter 1: A Restless Night, a new world with a new set of characters from Bradly Werley's noodles here to be lived in, loved, and understood on Openfilm. With this new series we are introduced to Whisk, a creature Bradly threaded, as he states in his description "with love" out of woven burlap. Whisk is a simple and childlike character with a thoroughly detailed environment that Bradly has fashioned to go along with his world as if it were a human home, which is an impressive feat in and of itself, even the physical materials of what Whisk is made of retains the creativity and the sass of his earlier creations. After a series of happy and not-so-happy flashbacks of having his 6 year old witch of a mother/creator, Brumehilda Meltwater, ripped away from him by another (obviously) vicious creation of Bradley's', he finds that her kidnapping is her final redeemed vow to animate him and silently resigning himself to journey out into the world of the unfamiliar he leaves us to reclaim her with his never-ending hope. So some of it may be unclear to the viewer until the end, nonetheless it serves up a great deal of visual story-telling rules that take you to the moment when it all becomes clearer. When it does, one feels something akin to how we felt when we saw Wall-E finally getting onto the mother ship of all their troubles to find his beloved Eve.
It is a visual feast of artistry that deserves the attention of those out there that can appreciate simplicity, creativity, and determination. The story itself holds no secrets of scriptwriting but the dilemma is serious, heartfelt, and perfectly simple in that it seems it would take something so traumatic to give an inanimate thing a pulse, vitality, and a sure hope to be re-united with his cute little creator. Bradly, we can't wait to see what comes next in Whisk's world.
