I Have Moved
It’s been so long since I’ve updated because I have been working on other things in other locations. Please visit www.rosestark.com for more information, and check in with my other tumblr allthepleasures.tumblr.com for updates on my current filmmaking endeavors.
NUTS! dream
I just finished up my work on on the film NUTS! (dir. Penny Lane). Since it will still be a while until it premiers, here are some images form the crazy dream sequence I animated for the climax of the film.
NUTS! Character Design
I’m working on a segment of animation for the documentary NUTS! by director Penny Lane.
These are some variations on the character design of John Romulus Brinkley, the subject of the film.
Christmas Day
This film is a couple years old, but I thought i'd post it for the holidays. Each year we made a Christmas film at Ace and Son. This one took the form of a music video for a song by The Handsome Family. It's a bit of a somber note but captures something about this season people tend to forget through all the cheer that is forced upon us.
I did the design which was awarded at the ASIFA East Animation Festival in 2012, and I also worked on some animation and composting. It was all done in photoshop and after effects.
Blind Day
I decided to become blind for a full day and attempted some drawing, though it was very frustrating. Things like music, podcasts and cooking brought much greater satisfaction.

Choked
For a zine to accompany the Falldown Town's album "All My Precious Feelings
graphite on paper
"Occurrence..."
I recently directed a music video for the Black Angels "An Occurrence at 4507 South Third Street"
We only had a month to execute this project. I opted to use graphite on 3x5 cards to create the dense swampy atmosphere, making it quite a feat to accomplish in such a limited time. Luckily I had some great people helping out who were up for the challenge.
Concept/Direction by Rose Stark (with some help from Ambrose Bierce)
Produced and Edited by Richard O'Connor
Animation by Taisiya Zaretskaya and Casey Drogin
The video had it's exclusive release at Q magazine last week.
Black Angels Designs
These are some of my original style frames for the Black Angels "Occurrence at 4507 South Third Street" video.
Independent People
A year ago today I began my 3 month stay at the Gamli Skoli Art house in Hrisey, Iceland. These are three illustrations I created during my stay. All are based on passages from the great Icelandic novel "Independent People" by Halldor Laxness.

Scene 10
A sneak preview of my new(est) project "Heila Ormur" Started at my residency at the Gamli Skoli Art House in Hrisey, Iceland.
After a few months hiatus It's on its way...
Masks
Ace and Son made this for Sesame Street in Spring 2013. I did all the design and compositing.
Population Increase
Taking things in a new direction for Vanessa Roth's doc on education in Texas. i'm working up a design and some boards for a segment on population increase in Texas.
Build America Mutual
This is a commercial spot I designed and animated with Fly Communications for Build America Mutual. The initial designs were drawn out in photoshop, but all the chalkboard animation was done in camera on a 4x6 blackboard over 2 very long days of shooting. Fortunately Fly took care of animating the children.
Graph Designs
Spent the day working on some Rodchenko inspired designs for the motion graphics segments on a new doc project we're working on with Vanessa Roth.
Ray and Roy
I'm back at work for Ace and Son. Working on style frames for some segments in a documentary on the collaboration between Ray Manzarek and Roy Rogers. Inspiration for the style comes from Terry Gilliam's Monty Python animated segments.
Thorgeirsboli
A couple of little graphite drawings I did at Gamli Skoli inspired by Icelandic folklore
