some more pictures of my animated film of Joe Madog’s track “porcelain”..
08.30.2016
It’s finally done! my first animated video.
This animation film is a visualization of a song called “porcelain” by Joe Madog. It deals with the theme of ephemerality and longing. It’s about the fragile things we hold precious, trying to hold on to, but who will inevitably fade away, vanish or break like porcelain. The animation was pencilled on paper on a lighttable and then inked with brush and a light black ink and some gray inkwash, then arranged in a videosequencer frame by frame.
..now let’s hope it’ll get picked up by some animation festivals.
