first draft of the new animation for threewalls screening on friday, i’m really happy with some bits of this, other bits need to be tweaked, but i’ve got like 3-4 more sequences ready to plug in and a few more that haven’t been made in maya yet, but i’m liking the retro, glitchy feel to the visuals and loving the unfolding cubes….. now if only i could make these in real life… if you wanna see this finished and projected on a wall with awesome musical accompaniment hustle on over to threewalls on friday.
here’s a sneak preview of one of the sequences for the upcoming screening at Three Walls on friday, it cuts off a bit a the beginning and runs a bit fast but i’ll fix that for friday. Events details are as follows:
Chasing Two Rabbits is a special event curated by Sonia Yoon and Shannon Stratton that pairs animators with live performances by sound artists and musicians. Inspired by the experimental films of Norman McLaren, who combined abstract imagery (including scratching and painting into the film stock in earlier work, as well as paper cut-outs and live action and dance) with imaginative music and sound, Chasing Two Rabbits, acts to pair artists in both genres to produce a unique event where, rather than leaving art to illustrate a story, perhaps sound and vision will illuminate each other.
The program for the evening will include animations by Gracen Brilmyer, Peter Burr, Tom Burtonwood, Dana Carter, Jodie Mack, Tracy Taylor, and Rebecca Schoenecker with sound by The Chicago Phonographers, Chris Hammes, Eric Zeigenhagen, Steve Lacy, Frank Van Duerm, Kotoka Suzuki, Cait Stevens, George Monteleone and Broken Chooser.
