How it feels
A medieval jester and his young apprentice perform a series of short, blackout sketch-like scenes. Their interactions are communicated entirely through computerized gargling noises instead of speech.

What happens
The Apprentice (French: L'Apprenti) is a 1991 animated short by Richard Condie, produced in Winnipeg by Ches Yetman for the National Film Board of Canada. A more enigmatic work than Condie's popular short The Big Snit, the film is a series of animated blackout sketches, telling the story of a medieval jester and his young apprentice. The "dialogue" is supplied by gargling noises, sampled on a computer. The film received a Blizzard Award for Best Animation at the 1993 Manitoba Motion Picture Industry Association Film & Video Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
