Another Failed Experiment

We're doing the signal film for this year's Ottawa International Animation Festival.

Have a basic idea figured out and have started on some technique experiments -it's going to be a mixed media thing and evolved through several passages.

Trying to find bubbly, watery textures. Towards the end of the clip it starts to get somewhere.

Everything is digital these days -with the exception of stalwart holdouts like Don Herzfeldt. To us, there's great value in creating elements of the picture with tactile materials. A computer is a calculator, an accountant. It works towards uniformity. If the starting point is far, far from perfect the design and the animation have the chance to retain some of that chaos in the final piece.
