Waking Life
waking-lifeyes

A rotoscoped medley of deep ideas and philosophic though, Waking Life is a crafted experience that discuss individuals and ideas within the context of Dreams. And for the audaciously pretentious, such as myself- the standard rainy day material. It’s a hard film to express, and slightly trickier to understand. It’s fodder for the Bedroom philosopher, or for those who just enjoy arduous AM debates with an empty case and a bunch of mates.

If I can just digress, Rotoscope seems to give creators and subsequent animators a great deal of help when establishing tones about perception and reality, as you would of seen in the recent Scanner Darkly. Actually now that I think about it, most of the best dream sequences I’ve seen have been animated (Disney) , which I guess speaks volumes about the expressiveness and potential of the medium. Anyway, the rotoscope, unifies the ebb and flow, brings forward focus and hyphens one impressive observation with the next.

Anyways, get the D’s about it here and check it out here.

Just wanted to Share this animation because it’s a great example of simple animation loops and how effective they can be. Subtle or fluid loops of simple actions is really all we have time for in 33 frames.
My Holga
Her name is Holga. She does beautiful things to people. Unashamedly cheap and easy to handle. A bit clunky around the edges and with no intention to hang around forever. Most importantly, the lady won’t say no too a little duct tape. She’s my plastic, french, fire engine red lomography camera and my current infatuation.
