Yacht "Hard World" (Mike Hollingsworth, dir.)
Los Angelenos have known it was only a matter of time before the Happy Foot / Sad Foot sign inspired an entire world. "Hard World" is done up in an enlarged halftone dot cartoon style by Bojack Horseman supervising director Mike Hollingsworth.
YACHT: "This is a magnificently bleak animated short about Los Angeles' favorite urban legend, the Happy Foot/Sad Foot sign. The Happy Foot/Sad Foot is the oracle of Sunset Boulevard. On one side, it’s a happy, healthy foot, a spring in its step. On the other, it's sad, toe bandaged, on crutches. It’s believed that if you pass the happy foot, your day is made, and vice-versa. Dark and light. Pain and joy. Good and evil. This video is an homage to the city we love, its monuments, and the stories we tell each other to make meaning from chaos."
