Styles of Animation #7: Salt Drawing

Is salt that much different than sand? Aleksandra Korejwo can answer that for you. In follow up to yesterdays excursion into the sand bowl, we bring you this for those noses with a different taste.

Although the description says that this one is band to sand:

One of the things I like most about this type of animation, is how it demonstrates how many different things are going on at once. You can see a bit of story, there is color and shape and how they both mix, and then there is the element of time and how the other elements communicate with it, changing over the course of the animation.

Styles of Animation #6: Sand Drawing

Kseniya Simonova’s from The Ukraine. And here she is on Ukaraine’s Talent Show. Here in our bowl, we rate her higher than that Boyle woman, but what do we know? We know we like drawing and we’ve never seen it done this way. Both the image and the artist dances throughout. The text tells us that is a story of when Germany invaded the Ukaraine in WW2, but even without knowing that we were fascinated. If it is live, is it still animation?

Movies I Have Wanted To Make #1

I have a list. Okay, I admit I have many lists. And there are subsets of those many lists. And occasionally some of those subsets even overlap.

On the list of True Stories I Would Like To Find A Movie To Make Incorporating Some Of That Truth In is a small subset incorporating those true Sports stories. There’s also one that incorporates true Drug tales. And yes, as you might have guessed, there is more than one crossover between the two of those subsets.
Now I also admit it did not occur to me to turn those over to animation. I am glad someone did have that inspiration — even if they did beat to it in terms of portraying one of those key moments of intersection.
The animated documentary is quickly becoming one of my favorite film forms too: Waltz With Bashir, Ryan, I Met The Walrus, Chicago 10, and now this:

Thank you James Blagden and No Mas TV!

And thank you J. Max Ruschak for the tip!

I Love Procrastination

Procrastination is surfing the internet — and finding things you love. Procrastination is putting things you like on your blog about the things you like.

John Kelly brings a lot of joy to procrastination.
