ROLE: Director
Presenting “2x1”, a long-exposure stop-motion animation with original scoring by Andrew Olson.
An homage to the roots of experimental animation, the composition explores relationships between contours, light, and texture through audio-visual relationships within a lumber warehouse in Savannah, GA.
What is the relationship between stop-motion animation and a lumber warehouse? Loose lumber, like frames to a film, assembles together to support a complete structure--a union of conglomerate assets to become one whole object. Construction materials within a finished structure offer a glimpse at how the structure around them was built in the first place. The meta-referentiality of construction materials within a finished structure inspires the frame within a frame structure of 2 x 1.
Each second of this animation is 24 frames. Each frame is a 20-second exposure featuring polygons projection-mapped onto painted cardboard. In order to achieve a holographic look and feel, images were flash-projected onto the cardboard for 1 second. The other 19 seconds became a choreographed dance with crew members, dressed in all black, running into the frame and flying out cardboard-bearing stands. Each frame captures the invisible effort of the insanely dedicated and wonderful crew I had the honor to work with on this one.
