#analogue animation

[dejaysus]

Here's the trailer for my animation graduation film Gullermo! Gullermo is an autobio love letter to the titular seagull who has kept me company over the lonely years of chronic illness.

A mixed media solo project involving claymation, sticky notes, oil pastels, collage, photocopied video animation and animation of found materials (dried leaves, flowers, plants, texts) all shot under a multiplane camera setup.

The opening quote is from John Berger's essay "Why Look At Animals?", 1980. Sound design by Ruadhan Doyle, Oliver Bentley and Aaron Scott. Everything else by yours truly Donnacha Clarke, with a lot of help from Eimhin McNamara and the team at IADT animation. Thank you to everyone who has helped me through my long IADT journey, especially Gullermo <3

Movement Project- Analogue Animation

(10/2/24)

I went to my local frame shop and was able to take some cutoff card scraps from mounts. Sustainability and my own financial budget is very important when taking on an art project that uses a lot of resources.

I found the card to be the perfect material for my animation frames, I cut them down to a 16:9 aspect ratio to match my other animation sequences and the card pieces held my paint very well each, frame feeling like it’s own painting. A shortcut I discovered was using post-it notes when I needed to animate only one small object, so I didn’t need to draw a whole new frame.

Using what I learnt from the Experimental Animation workshop last semester I captured my analogue animation with the stop-motion animation app Stop Motion Studio and took a page out of stop-motion animator, Blu’s book, embracing the ever-changing lighting and position as part of the animation sequence.

Disrupt Project- Experimental Animation workshop

(13/11/23)

After learning the different types of analogue and stop motion animation, I turned to pixilation (animating using the human body as a puppet) and object animation, using the mobile app Stop Motion Studio.

I wanted to create something engaging and quite odd, so I tried a bit of fourth wall breaking. The video is currently silent but I am currently in the process of making a soundtrack.
