#augenblicke

[anniflamma]

I recently rewatched your Ruthlessness animatic again (as one does) and noticed in the description you cited an animated short film 'Augenblicke' as source of inspiration. I just watched it and MAN IT'S. WOW. It's so excellently well made and even though it's only 4 minutes it made my heart beat, made me incredibly invested, and almost made me cry. The way perspective was used in it really put the viewer into the shoes of the woman and her terrifying experience, and im just. It's such an amazing work of art, I am baffled it didn't get more views on youtube, and i wanted to thank you for pointing me to it!!

YES!!! If I ever made a top 5 animated movies list (both short and long), Augenblicke would be there. I saw it at a film festival in Norway, and I it left an imprint on me. I loved it. It gave me shivers, yet I found it so beautiful at the same time. Sadly, my friend who was with me didn’t enjoy it at all due to the lack of trigger warnings from the festival. The film was categorized as "child-friendly," or more accurately, the festival gave a general warning that some short films could have adult themes but didn’t specify which ones.

The animation of Augenblicke amazes me, its movements look so rough, but each frame is so clean at the same time. When I studied how they made it, I drew inspiration for making rough smear/blur frames in my animations.

The use of colors and storytelling also inspires me. The scene where the woman, in the blink of an eye (pun intended), transforms into a wolf in an attempt to fight back the man, and then the camera spins and everything becomes calm and serene as we see the man's fingers slowly going through the woman's hair while he breathes deeply. It’s so disturbing, but at the same time, so beautifully made.

It’s also kind of weird. Before I made that "hair pull art" here on Tumblr, I received comments about how they found the hair pull scene in the animatic sexy. All I could think about was how I took inspiration from a short film where a man attempts to SA a woman from his point of view. Though I 100 percent blame myself for making thirst art after that, I find it really interesting and even healthy to see how context always matters in storytelling, I guess.

…doch dann kommen Augenblicke wie dieser, die mir in Erinnerung rufen, dass das Glück, nach dem wir alle im Leben streben, nichts Dauerhaftes ist, sondern etwas ganze Flüchtiges, das sich von Zeit zu Zeit zeigt und manchmal eben nur in ganz kleinen Portionen, gerade so viel, dass wir irgendwie weitermachen können…

Einmal im leben triffst du einen Menschen, der immer deine Schwäche sein wird. Einen Menschen, für den du immer Gefühle haben wirst und den du dein Leben lang liebst.

Ich wollte sie an mich ziehen. Nur mehr schweigend, nur mehr in der Finsternis konnten wir noch für Augenblicke frei werden, in Selbstversunkenheit, die nichts als das momentlange Stillstehen der Folter war, so sehr hielt uns die Verzweiflung von allen Seiten eingekesselt.

Je öfter ich dich sehe, desto dichter werden die Bilder von dir in meinem Kopf. Desto öfter blitzt du einfach auf. Ein kurzer Moment, ein Kuss, dein Lächeln.
