An Optical Poem
Here’s a bit of animation history. Imagine rows of paper cut out shapes hanging on invisible wires, each shape’s movement synchronised to the music of Franz List, photographed one frame at a time. To achieve the frame accurate timing, try slicing the musical score into tiny fragments without digital equipment, quite a technical feat for it’s day.

Shugo Tokumaru / Katachi
This is my kind of stop motion. A creative use of cut-outs, stacked to create interesting geometry and trailing effects with colour. Expressive and very satisfying to watch as it builds. “Katachi” means “shape”. The video is made with approx, 2000 silhouettes extracted from PVC plates using computer-controlled cutter.

The Boy Who Turned Yellow
A clever short animated film based on the idea of not smoking ! It reminded me of a more innocent 70’s era children’s tv show, not only in the gentle voiceover by Michael Somerset Ward, but also the slow pace and simplified character style. The Boy Who Turned Yellow was created for Now Will You Listen!, an illustrated audio visual book of short horror stories and surreal poetry from musician/writer ...
The Red Witch
This imaginative and thought provoking animation by Aron Bothman uses a clever blend of 2d, 3D and stop motion to tell an intriguing tale of a geologist exploring Mars’ past as part of a a terra-forming experiment. Great use of dialogue and crisp sound production add a professional layer of production. The models are nicely made and animated and the use of camera and effects lends an otherworldly feel ...
