The official music video for “a little too much” by kai
The film narrates the adventures of an animated train.
You see a girl or you don’t. But at least you know she is afraid of touching people. Now she is going on a journey to overcome her fear from the past to the present, from pain to relief. Running across the snow, hiding in an apartment and going to the sea.
Structured as a series of vignettes drawn in stark black and white, and to a soundtrack of mournful jazz, the film is a set of confessions anchored in fear, confusion, numbness, and anxiety.
Nine short and unexpected stories that tell us how a person can be depicted. By mixing abstraction, collage and drawing animation, the author invites us into a spontaneous and unsystematic research of the potential of animation and leads us into the world of irrepressible imagination.
Fear is part of our identity, it is our everyday life and we experience it in different ways. We grow up with it, and over time we overcome or suppress it. However, it is always present, transforms itself into something else, follows our steps, and enters our dreams. It is said that fear has big eyes, they grow where we meet the unknown and then, to some aspects of reality, such as time, we give unrealistic proportions. Only when the fear is overcome, the eyes shrink and the picture becomes clearer.
Separate projections combine, unifying, becoming whole. Twelve animated projections combine to develop a rhythmic dialogue exploring the intrinsic relationship between sound and image using 16mm film, paint and a projector. Responding to a hand-drawn soundtrack, each projection is individually created by painting and scratching directly on 16mm film stock.
Bellaria FF is a documentary film festival of great traditions.
This animation was created in April 2007 using a program called Abrosoft Fantamorph. The cost at the time was 30 US dollars. My thought at the time was rather than creating simple humorous morphs, that were common at the time, why not instead create an artistic film that loops multiple animations together and tells the story of art over time.
Everything is grey. The sun has not risen for years. A legend circles the city: paint the sun a thousand times and it will rise again.
