the spirit that animates

Frogbot and Cylinderella. episode 2

inside the box

Inside the Box could be characterized as "outside the box", a video animation done frame by frame the old fashioned way drawn with vectors though they may be, layered and overlapping photoshop in movie mode, very basic. The idea was imaginary holographic boxes and artworks in a museum setting. There are size/scale events like the figures looking at the exhibit, before you see them it looks quite different. When you see them, the art is larger. When the white line figures come in they aren't solid, when they walk back through going out they've materialized hpwever you notice they don't interact with the exhibit, either coming or going, That's just the way it is with perception. And you have to want to care. The art, the animation, the sound/music "Reaching the Summit" produced by K.A. Bloom 2015-2025

 

   

she walks in beauty

Frogbot and his consort Cylinderella are two characters who are part of a series of short movies. In this first movie, Frogbot recites 'She Walks In Beauty' by Lord Byron. I have had so much fun doing this project, it will be a more or less regular thing.

radar man

a one minute piece "spend a minute with a childs drawing"- the artwork was done by a small boy I know, and it had a life of its own which suggested the character needed to be animated. so, for the fun of it, spend a minute with a childs drawing. "radar man"
