Algarhythm

Algarhythm (stylized as Alga-rhythm) is a 2021 animated comedy short film produced by JacobH Features and directed by Jacob Harvey. The short is about three colored squares messing around outside, set to the theme tune from Knick Knack.

Alga-rhythm is the 4th overall JacobH short and uses comedy and simplicity to drive its story forward; and is one of the few shorts animated using Algodoo

Plot
Coming soon...

Background
Jacob first got interested with Algodoo in a season 6 episode of The Anthony Livestream Show after seeing Anthony and others having fun and laugh attacks playing it (as Jacob returned into the episode). During that, Anthony was suggested a series with the software which gave Jacob a bright idea later on. He then downloaded it and began having fun doing a stream on his channel which gave him the idea of doing a short film made entirely with the physics software, experimenting it into 3 and a half minutes.

Production
Out of other ideas other than flying letters and objects the following day, Jacob then put together a storyline following three squares and being experimentative with that, various objects as well as text, including the JacobH Features logo. In order to suit the entire thing, he added cartoony sound effects and the theme tune from the Pixar short, Knick Knack. All of which in a few hours on February 7th, 2021. The Algodoo scenes were recorded using Quicktime Player and edited on iMovie.

Release
The short itself was released on February 7th, 2021 on JacobH's YouTube channel to positive reception by audiences with comments towards the use of the software and partially its comedic aspect.

Alga-rhythm is set to be released at theatrical showings of Getting Sketchy: A HappyTown Movie (in place of the originally scheduled Roll-Away Track; Happy School according to the film's TV Spot)
