This short film is an example of a stop start animation which is created in this case by painting an image, taking a photo, painting another image that is similar to the previous but certain areas have moved or changed then taking another photo. When this is repeated and all the images strung together and sped up a movie is made.
This particular animation interested me because of its abstactness and effectiveness. There is no obvious plot to the animation, it seems more a series of fantasy creatures twisting and forming out of eachother. The paintings are highly detailed and each individual painting must have taken a long time to create, making the entire movie a long and arduous task.
The camera shots are fairly simple, just moving along with the paintings, zooming in and out where neccessary. The fact that the animation is not restricted to just a single wall but moves over and inside various buildings and areas makes it much more interesting and much more of a journey for the viewer.
This movie has inspired me to look into stop start animation in more detail and I have to do a stop start animation as my short film
