I was part of team, so the not all the animation is mine. I can tell you my animation is the "looking all around you" part, the "kid running chasing ball" part, and the "Oto is calculating all these things" part. This project reminded me how effective circles and squares can be. http://www.samselthedamsel.com/still-art-by-hand http://www.samselthedamsel.com/following/samselthedamsel.com/still-art-by-hand Sun,

Expect minimalist webs, complex rhythms, cinematic layering, a dash of prog-rock as well as a live score/short film collaboration with animator Lori Samsel. This collection of pieces marks for the composer a birthing into heavier avant-garde sensibilities. Different movements will convey the dramatically constructed and the impulsively deconstructed, ceremonial exaggeration and aqueous dream-states." <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/164516/2293676/n559001922_2459369_5241132.jpg" border="0" width="453" height="604" width_o="453" height_o="604" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/164516/2293676/n559001922_2459369_5241132_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/164516/2293676/n559001922_2459364_1020247.jpg" border="0" width="604" height="453" width_o="604" height_o="453" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/164516/2293676/n559001922_2459364_1020247_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/164516/2293676/n559001922_2459373_2256555.jpg" border="0" width="604" height="453" width_o="604" height_o="453" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/164516/2293676/n559001922_2459373_2256555_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.samselthedamsel.com/Georgia-Lottery http://www.samselthedamsel.com/following/samselthedamsel.com/Georgia-Lottery Sat, 12 Nov 2011 02:32:03 +0000 samselthedamsel 2293611 Character animation done at Transistor Studios.
