SAIGO NO SHUDAN( https://vimeo.com/user6481632 ), a team of animators from Japan conducted a 4 day workshop. As part of the workshop we were given a theme a day and materials to work with for that theme. Based on this we had to come up with a short animation by the next day. The following are the results :
THEME : Hands + Universe
MATERIALS : We were asked to use anything we find in our surroundings. I took most of mine from the textile studio bin.
For the sound design I used a lot of video game sounds from the 90's that was partly sourced from the internet and partly created by me.
THEME: Madness
MATERIALS: None . We were asked to go outdoors and use our camera to shoot pictures of anything that we thought relevant.
For this film i created a never ending loop of visuals and was inspired by the film " Run Lola Run".
Through the visuals i tried to tell the story of how rumours begin and cycle around an ecosystem like a disease creating a
mad cacophony.
A grainy effect was added to the visuals to create an eerie feeling.
Music credits: La Bicicleta de Cristal by Balun
The soundtrack gives the feeling of time passing by but also has a twisted madness to it which i thought was appropriate for the story i wanted to tell.
