and start using this properly. Once I've got my shit together this week i'll get scanning some work and some photographs and all that ballache stuff
BUT FOR NOW here's a video I came across today, by an artist called Sean Vicary. This animation won a prize at this years Welsh National Eisteddfod and is a piece which is in response to plans to build a large supermarket in his local area, destroying the landscape. It also draws on traditional Welsh folk stories, rituals and characters.
Anyway, Enjoy for now.
*oh yeah, forgot to say why I like it - he uses natural materials that he finds in his surroundings (wood, leaves, skulls, snails, roadkill etc) to create characters that evoke both fear and mystique. It reminds me of my childhood, of the stories of the crazy beasts and monsters and mythical creatures that supposedly lived in the forests. The beings Vicary has formed have a certain quality about them, they don't impose themselves in a way actors or certain styles of animations would have - I feel it lets your imagination run wild.
