Animated Journal Long Version

Animated Journal (Long Version) from Paul Greer on Vimeo.

I've been keeping an Animated Journal over the last year.

I’ve always liked the picture a day format, video diaries etc, and animation is, traditionally a long drawn out, painful process, this is me trying to free it up and make it a bit more ephemeral.

Stan Brakhage said that he considered what he did to be his home movies and these follow a similar vein.

I generally capture whats going on around me and funnel it into 250 frames.

It's made using a variety of software & techniques including Maya, flip book drawings, After Effects, old cameras, roll film, digital photography and so on.

Unfortunately, I can't make the opening night (got stuck in wrong continent), but I assure you it'll be worth a visit if you are in the vicinity.

The Animated Journal will be showing sometime somewhere.

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.

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.
