Animate Projects are known in the UK as important pioneers and networkers, as well as “enablers” of experimental (animation) film projects. That this doesn’t save you from financial cuts from the British Arts Council was painfully felt by the “online exhibition space” at the beginning of the year. One by one, renowned artists like Phil Mulloy, Paul Bush or Stephen Irwin threw their weight behind the platform, which also acts as producer together with Channel 4. ...From scrapbook bodies to outlines filled with light, there’s collage in the chaos and dance tunes in the abstract visual music. ...Variety is the spice as Wittgenstein pitches us into musical chairs, tables, apples and shoes with his thoughts on certainty, or its lack. ...The Life Size Zoetrope is the celebratory life story of one man, told via a one-take live action shot of a human zoetrope containing the film. ...Flip-books describe the sad story of a black dog, the development of which is almost indiscernible due to the accumulated and ever more condensed loops. ...Inspired by the unlikely plots of afternoon TV and Hitchcock’s Rebecca, Amnesia opens with our heroine discovering that her husband is Pierce Brosnan who gives her a mobile phone so that she will remember her past.

Hands on at COLLECT 2011

info@sundogmedia.co.uk — 2011-04-09T10:19:54+01:00

Sunset Strip will screen in Hands on at COLLECT 2011 ...A programme of animated films that explores the relationship between the act of making and the act of making things move. Animation is often referred to as being a combination of art forms - drawing, painting, film, literature, sculpture, and music. Programmed by Animate Projects, this selection of experimental films sets out to show the distinct and fundamental role that ‘making’ has for much animation practice. It includes films that employ ‘craft’ techniques, using a range of physical materials in their construction. Others provoke us to reconsider how we think about ‘objects’ - physical and digital - or explore the ways in which animation itself is made and constructed. The screening is part of COLLECT 2011 the annual fair for contemporary craft. The Black Dog’s Progress (Stephen Irwin, 2008, 3’14”)

CineCity screening notes

info@sundogmedia.co.uk — 2010-11-27T11:29:44+00:00

The imagery and course of the film was directed by the dreams I had around the time of menstruation: each month I 'confined' myself, to exclude external distractions, and focussed on creating images, filming and making artwork according to an 'inner' vision. Visuals are ink drawings/paintings, performance/pixillation sequences filmed at different locations (in the wood, amongst overgrown creepers) and in the studio (with lights and smoke machine), stop motion of berries, pumpkin and fire (on the body, reflected in water, and at night), cut-outs in the studio and on location, and painting, engraving and over-printing the film after processing. ...Day-by-day animated diary of a year's sunsets, recorded directly onto a continuous strip of 35mm film using a variety of materials such as magnolia petals, net stocking, lacquer and ink, to create a dazzling expression of the visual music revealed by 365 setting suns. ...Found objects collected on a circular walk are printed directly onto 16mm filmstrips: the fallen bodies of bees and flies picked from the dirt, and the vegetation growing up in the stony rubbish along a roadside verge which snakes around the perimeter of an industrial area along the Plym estuary. ...Dressmaker’s pins, buttons, small metal screws, plastic and silver rings: a collection of ‘found objects’, once used to bind things, and people, together: they have been lost or discarded, then rediscovered; their silhouettes burned into the emulsion of 16mm black and white negative film using household bleach: leaving a trace of their presence falling through time and space. ...An heirloom is something that has special meaning and has been passed down through the generations of a family; in the title, ‘heir’ is a homophone of ‘hair’, ‘loom’ is a device for weaving together disparate strands that meet at 90 degrees, but also carries the resonance of appearing threatening, magnified, or hugely distorted. ...A view through the window in Studio One at Plymouth Arts Centre: I drew what I could see during an artist’s residency there, using the glass pane as a ‘lightbox’, I engraved the images onto black film leader using a surgical scalpel. ...Animation Art workshop for Foundation students at Bridgwater College in Somerset: this is the film they made using found footage from a 1980s promotional film for Butlin’s Holiday Camps.

Only at specific instances do focus and exposure match to give an image that is readable in illusionistic terms, so that any attempt to ‘place’ oneself is subverted by the constant perceptual shift applied to the image.” ...From an essay written in 1935: “Wading around in water up to your ankles or navel, day and night, in all kinds of weather, even in areas where one is sure to find nothing, digging about everywhere for algae or octopus, getting hypnotised by a sinister pond where everything seems to promise marvels although nothing lives there. ...A series of experiments with light, time and place, Project is made up of hundreds of photos taken during field trips to sites of ancient Celtic holed stones in Kernow, taken using constructed devices and naturally occurring pinhole phenomena. ...First camera was instructed to film for the duration of a breath, whilst blowing his whistle as synchronising signal for the other two. ...Walk (in Progress) documents four people on a walk in the French countryside, filmed on out-of-date black and white filmstock with the audio captured on MiniDisc.

Sea Front won in the Media Innovation Awards 2010 Independent Film category last night at St Mellion, Cornwall. We were really chuffed and it was a great night out too. The judges described Sea Front as ‘a very atmospheric and nostalgic production that was beautifully produced’ and the Chair of the Judges Mark Leaver had kind words about our film after the presentation. It was good to talk to fellow Independent Film/Video nominee Joshua Gaunt who was pipped to the prize. The three films nominated from the category’s entries were all quite individual so the judging must have been hard. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into the judging of each category so thanks to all the people involved and to Karen and Kurston at PM-P. Jodie Burns, a student at PCoA was commissioned to make the beautiful trophies and David Fitzgerald was a great host for the evening. ...There’s a nice article about our win on D+CFilm here

And even though we don't know where it's set it reminded us of dodgy school trips to Southend in the 80s.... very tenuous link to East End.... And even though it doesn't have a narrative it's completely engaging - you're in that place, and it gives you the same feeling that you have in that environment - voyeurism, lazy sunshine and ...The LSFF described the Trick of the Light Programme: Short films are shown with gorgeous and sumptuous imagery in this stunning collection of rich cinematography and beautiful animation.

We presented the AURORA 09 Tour at Plymouth Arts Centre which includes Current Shot 01 by Philippe Gerlach & Stefan Kushima (still above) and Masking for Serene Velocity - Heat Shot 3 - two incredible films. ...A selection of the best new artists' work in the moving image from across the world, this programme of ten short films represents a wide cross-section of current artistic practice—from rigorous formal experiments to lyrical, poetic work; hand-processed, textural 16mm films alongside maverick digital adventures. The programme comprises work taken from the competition selection for the most recent edition of AURORA, an annual festival based in Norwich which explores the potential of the moving image via film programmes, installation work, performance and more. ...The concepts of inside and outside are troubled and the act of enclosure itself creates a screen on which to project the filmmaker’s own image. ...The opening aria of Bach’s Goldberg Variations forms the frame of this ‘associative editing’ piece which references the still-life paintings of Dutch artists Pieter Claesz and Lara de Moor. ...Images of the tides are married with celluloid that was buried in the sea bed and dragged through the ocean behind a boat, recording tactile evidence of the repetition and changes wrought by tide cycles. ...And precisely this suggestiveness makes Current Shot 01 so fascinating: the slightly weird impression that results when faceless figures – motionless and then in motion – start looking at you...” —Alexandra Seibel ...Blue paint starts to issue from the projected image, until the room is filled with paint and the distinction between room, image and seascape is lost, to dizzying effect.

Further dreams led the artist to the locations featuring in the film: the secret bluebell wood in east Devon, Haytor on Dartmoor, and the sea in Plymouth.

Our Coast, Our Sea, OUR PLANET!

info@sundogmedia.co.uk — 2008-05-16T16:31:15+01:00

In February this year we were invited by Richard Marsh of the Barefoot Project to run an animation project over three days at a local secondary school. Work commitments meant Kayla could only be there for the first day and Stuart for only one more - two days to shoot a film with novice animators! The Ridgeway students had visited the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth for a scientific grounding in the film's subject - the effects of rising sea temperature on the marine ecology.

On arriving at the Ridgeway School we quickly set to work with Kayla organising the students' stories into a filming script and developed an ingenious narrative including an octopus chat show host and a naughty sea-horse.

...Luckily we had our trusty MacBook and the school had a single DV camera with a tripod in its reprographic unit so a mini animation studio was created under the library stairs.

...The production groups also recorded the dialogue for their scenes in a couple of very creative, full-on days! ...Discussions with the National Marine Aquarium - who were organising the UK part of the competition - resulted in script revisions to boost the scientific information in the film.

A trip back to Ridgeway School followed on the 15th May when new dialogue was recorded straight to the MacBook using a Mackie Onyx Satellite.

The Other CO₂ Problem was delivered to PML today before being whisked off to Copenhagen before returning to the UK to be presented at the Royal Institution of Great Britain by Dr. Carol Turley of Plymouth Marine Laboratories. In January, Sundog Media ran four days of workshops at UCP Marjon for pupils of Ridgeway School Plymouth where a story and characters were developed for the animated film which addresses the subject of ocean acidification.
