IN THE BEGINNING

This is an animation I did as an interpretation of origin/creation stories. It was an artist in residence project offered by CAOS, (Calgary Animated Objets Society) festival. It was my attempt to push myself into experimentation with stop motion, plasticine, ink in water in a fish tank, sparklers, green screen and compiling the elements together with After Effects. I learned a lot and nearly burnt myself and my computer out in the process. The opportunity also afforded me the chance to purchase gear and software to make the piece and to basically live in a plus 15 window for a time. Kind of like an animal on display.
