NonSequitur

Collage animation

A collage animation musing on dreamscapes featuring found letterforms and imagery. Featuring music: 'Hola Hola Bossa Nova' by Juanitos.

Process

1. Idea generation / storyboard

I free associated things and created a little storyboard of dream-like and absurd transitions. The subway concept didn't end up making it to the final.

2. Image & sound compiling

Old books and the internet were search for unusual images and Creative Commons photos. Particularly wonderful finds include the music by Juanitos, and the many versions of the lady from my mother's 1970s yoga book. 

3. Digital collage & animation

Storyboard collages were created digitally in Photoshop before being animated in After Effects. The type was found in a 1950s lettering book.

Images lovingly collaged from:

• Yoga 28 day exercise plan - Richard Hittleman

• The Psychology of Children's Art - by Rhoda Kellogg with Scott O'Dell

• Houseplants - The American Horticultural Society Illustrated Encyclopedia of Gardening

• Look at Us... - photographs by Arthur Rothstein
