For many years I drew and painted, mostly on paper, sometimes on canvas. Then one day I noticed that I was working sequentially, and telling stories. So I tried animating on an old Mac. The drawings rapidly grew into Happy Birthday Hannah, my first film. I'm still working on a Mac, but now the file sizes are a little bigger.
When I animate I try to draw the viewer into the character's mindset. In Slide a conflict between line and paint runs through the film, echoing the character’s internal versus external dialogue.
Working entirely in digital media, I use the Wacom tablet as the sensory ground on which I paint. There's no storyboard - I animate straight ahead and then work in the narrative during the editing. While this makes for some hairy moments, it also frees me from the boundaries of traditional film structure, so transitions between viewpoints can be graphic elements rather than camera moves, and the rules of ordinary perspective can be exaggerated and distorted for emotional impact. |
