Postipankki / Creator

Drawn in marker and ink on white paper, with the elements cut out and given drop shadows so the layers sit visibly one on top of another on the rostrum bed. An orange lion with a hatched mane and long thin legs builds a brick wall a brick at a time and peers round it, and when the voice asks how you are meant to pay when the bank is shut, an orange cloud bursts the wall and the bricks fly. The human in the film is a flat grey silhouette with no features, which leaves the lion as the only one in frame with a face: it holds the bill up for the blank figure to sign, then throws both arms in the air as the figure walks out through a door into a night street with the envelope. The wordplay runs through the voice-over as well, a postbox called "varsinainen pankkiautomaatti" (a proper cash machine) leading to "Postipankki on yhtä lähellä kuin lähin postilaatikko" ("Postipankki is as close as the nearest postbox"). There is no pack to show, so the white paper gives way to a painted night skyline and the lion's head fills the frame, winking, under the line POSTIPANKKI POSTISSA.
