Making a figure walk though town

submitted by harriet
2 months ago

If the line is a dot that went for a walk then this is the still figure that became animated in Stanley town. 2d animation in a 3d world, and getting the people into the animation. This is not quite an animation, as Magritte might have put it; it is precariously balanced on a liminal line between being active and dormant, alive and inanimate. The treachery of images, the duplicity of movement, it hopes to conjure a sense of the uncanny.

I see dumb people. They’re everywhere. They walk around like everyone else. They don’t even know that they’re dumb.

More like a short hop from a bus stop to the station's entrance...but OK.

If I'm the artist, I wonder how many cutouts I have to make to be as efficient as possible, 6-10 frames? Seems like a lot of boards to waste (even if they're recycled).

Are you seeing the video? All I get is
“Video Unavailable
the video has been removed by the uploader “

Moving this video to harriet's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
