Synopsis:
I created “Playtime” in 2010 as part of The Toronto Animated Image Society’s funded project to bring the Group 11 Painters alive with animation. My film was an homage to the life and art of Jock MacDonald. This film was created with paint and decayed frames of Hollywood trailers glued directly onto the surface of 35 mm film strips.
