Animation. The power of IMAGES

First of all read the following text, and try to guess the meaning of the highlighted words:

Introducing a groundbreaking technique that merges computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques, first-time director John Kahrs takes the art of animation in a new direction with the Oscar®-nominated short (2013), "Paperman." 

Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from his office. With only his heart, imagination and a stack of papers to get her attention, his efforts are no match for what the fates have in store for him. 

Created by a small, innovative team working at Walt Disney Animation Studios, "Paperman" pushes the animation medium in an exciting new direction.
