Things I Don't Remember

This was my final animation for Animation II. The background layers were cut out of tracing paper, shot separately on a light box, and composed in After Effects. The characters were animated in Flash and masked with tracing paper textures (next year I’m going to edit the flickering and opacity in places so it’s a little less distracting), and then composed and tweaked in After Effects as well. The sound is also sort of a placeholder—I’d like to compose an original soundscape and not have any music in it. But for a two-week mixed media experiment I’m quite happy with it!

defterisk: A painting by Franz Kupka, a Czech avant-garde painter living in Paris. The painting is a mixture of realism and abstraction. Called The Yellow Scale, it depicts a portrait, but the painting technique consists of a feast of violent slashes of yellow impasto. This was a work of the transitional stage of Kupka’s oeuvre when he moved from an impressionistic style to the world of abstraction. In the painting we see a supremely bored male individual, staring at us with a stern expression on his green-tinted face, a wisp of black hair sweeping across a wide brow, lounging back in a yellow dressing gown, his head resting against a large soft pillow in an oriental cane armchair. There is a self-rolled cigarette in the semi-salute of his upraised left hand, whilst his right hand’s first finger rests in the opening of a yellow-covered Charpentier paperback on his lap. Who is this lounger? It is no other than Charles Baudelaire, the French decadent poet, based on one of Nadar’s daguerreotype photographs.
