This short but impressive experimental animation was made by students of the Studio of Animation at the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art of the University of West Bohemia during a traditional school plein-air. It was inspired by the endlessly elaborate structures of the bark on trees near the Wallenstein Loggia. The students fittingly used the technique of non-phased animation – animation of real photographs.

The topic of this lecture is to provoke the audience into being more sensitive to their everyday surroundings and to take note of precious material for their work (in any form) in small, rarely noticed phenomena, situations, objects, and movements. Ideas are not far from us. We often just need to change the angle from which we are looking at apparently mundane things. In addition, I will suggest a few games that could become ways of turning the slow and sometimes overwhelming process of animation (frame by frame by frame after one more frame…) into something more playful, even adventurous.
