in a field.


church ideas...

i'm thinking now, we do a backlit magic thing on this one.. .but here were some ideas for some pretty puppetesque/popup book solutions for engulfing the church in flames...

each day i'd wake up smelling the dirt



hmmmm

in response--

a choice to be made here-- shadowed or frontlit? (compare fahey's video to any of ours that are cloth/etc)
kathy used fancy light gels to film hers... the puppets are black/white because you just see the sillouhette-- a form of shadowpuppetry ... if we do a front lit crankie, all the color goes onto the paints/drawings...and allows for drawing/painting as opposed to sillouhette cutting. which were you envisioning? i am envisioning front lit, but i am flexible!

i am not super into the angularity here, and feel like the color palate is somewhat unfocused, here... but there are great inspiring mments-- like the sea, especially

katherine fahey's

totally inspired by her coloring! it could be really cool to begin & end the video in blue, cool tones and change it to red/yellow/orange for dream. i assume we could use stagelight screen thingies for this?

ellen's is super impressive too but it definitely made clear to me that i'm more into the darkness/shadow puppets/light changing route. very into ink and clear lines with color placed within the drawings. (as opposed to coming from a place of blocks of color).
