La primavera

Largo from Concerto No. 1 in E major, Op. 8, “La primavera” (Spring).
A few years back we made projections for a live performance by the Emerald Ensemble of the "Four Seasons" by Vivaldi.
This is one I did for the second movement of Spring.
There was very little budget, so I spent a week or two listening to the piece over and over, when in the car, then did all the CGI work in less than 2 office days.
From the BDH website:
"Vivaldi wrote sonnets for each concerto in the Four Seasons. For this piece he wrote:

“And now, in the pleasant, flowery meadow, to the soft murmur of leaves and plants, the goatherd sleeps with his faithful dog at his side.”

Each musical element clearly illustrates a scene and the shapes in the animation reflects that."

Britsh Style Genius Won the RTS

For best Title Sequence.
We're all very happy and a tad emotional.
Well done us, and a big thanks to everyone who supported and helped along the way.

“The judges felt this sequence was unique, bold, edgy and very striking. The animation was cleverly done, maintaining a real strength truly befitting the feel of the programme.”

Poison River and the vertiginous ellipsis: "In comics, the ellipsis — a spatio-temporal jump in the narration which happens between panels — is a given which the reader, quite often, ignores. ." tagged: comics theory

New Method

I have joined posterous (http://burningfp.posterous.com/) so posts here will be coming from there from now on...I think.

We'll see how it goes, I've been persuaded by some internet guru's to give it a go.

Animated Journal Part 4 170809.

Bell themed

Two Sided Week

1. Good Thing.

The Animate Journal was featured on the excellent 4mations website. They said:

"I’m not really sure what to make of Paul’s animated experiments but there is something hypnotic and mesmerizing about these snippets of life. It’s like dipping a toe in somebody else’s sensorial experience, vaguely voyeuristic without the seedy Big Brother connotations. Which is a good thing, because somehow I doubt an animator’s lifestyle could compete with the glossy glamour of watching a Z-list celebrity painting their toenails."

2. Not So Good Thing

The promising 5lights tumblr project ended this week. It was shaping up to be something very special, and I was due to be a Monday person on it for a month around autumn. I've started concocting four "pieces" and may follow through with these anyway.

All the best to Lou Noble and Katie West for their future projects.

Enjoy August.

Yellowstone Content Graphics

(movie here)

At BDH we did the titles and content graphics for the BBC NHU series Yellowstone.

Using NASA Landsat and height data to create "shuttle-view" aerials, we had the pleasure of matching the mood and lighting of the amazing footage the team shot on location.

Final Delivery was in HD.

Animated Journal No.1 030709

Still not sure about the name, but anyhow.

I’ve always like the picture a day format, video diaries etc, and wanted to loosen my fixation that animation is a long drawn out torture-fest.

So here I am making it about instincts, ephemera & brevity.

Hopefully weekly, probably more like monthly.

There is no quality guarantee.

Headphones on.
