Strata of the Image

2015 • 7 min • Spain

The project seeks to reflect about the image, and its contemplative experience from the factors of time, color and movement.

This definition synthesize well the will of the project: "The landscape are layers of time condensed into an image". We seek to merge different temporal layers into a single image, proposing two exploration lines: emphasize the ephemeral and fleeting passage of man over the territory; and invite to a leisurely contemplation showing the poetry and mystery of the movements of landscape.

Animation School Dropout

2015 • 2 min • United States of America

This is animation after all and any kind of motion is possible, but there must be rules. For example, if a character in your story can't fly and then all of a sudden he can fly for no reason. As soon as something looks wrong or out of place, your audience will think about how weird that looked and you've lost them.
