This was a project we embarked upon after wide eyes in awe at the
Ambient Weather and Sound Machine AWSoM, on a sunny day at shoplands festival, followed by smiles at the
Mediashed for
Telephasis, when it rained cats and dogs and we thought of the idea, happy in the rain.
We have much respect for the ingenious AWSoM project the brain child of
Stuart Bowditch, Damien Robinson &
mediashed.org, so when Stuart asked if we wanted to animate anything from his
hybernation album we couldn't say no. The track was chosen for its rhythmic pace and because we loved the lyrical poem voiced and written by
Jo Overfield from
Sundown Multimedia.
The girl, who surprisingly remains unnamed, is a clay model (which I happily constructed while watching Tvlinks in the summer holidays R.I.P.) and the video itself uses stop motion with 3D computer compositing.
We are hoping Stuart will be as happy as we are with the video.
Point your peepers in this direction to view the finished piece.
