REANIMATE

Danielle tells the story of her “Frankenhand.” Her two friends react in very different ways.

This was a school exercise (2005) in keeping two characters on the screen at all times, bouncing attention between the two of them. Based off a “found” sound track (I stuck a mic in the room while my friends chatted).  I’m a better animator now, but I figured I would put this one up for posterity.  Plus, it’s still kinda funny, as long as you can actually understand the dialogue - which might be a little garbled and hard to hear at times.

Art-speaky synopsis: SUPERSATURATED is a critical musing which examines the pervasive ubiquity of advertising and its tendency to dominate language and influence behaviour.

I finished this film in June of 2006, it was my graduation project at the Emily Carr Institute (now University) in Vancouver. I could write an essay (and have) about all the research and levels of meaning involved, but I think it’s better that viewers take whatever they take from it, without me telling them what they’re supposed to take.

Two major influences: Koyaanisqatsi, and Mind Game.  If you haven’t seen those films, do your best to find them and watch them.  They are fantastic.
