Life Drawing

I dislike tea with sugar...

Waking Life

Sound project - Stones

All these paper is for just around 5 seconds of animation! (That's why we have the 'duplicate' photos/frames thing in our animating program hehe...)

Edinburgh

Woa! It's been a long time! So many things have happened! Where could I begin??? It's impossible to say everything, so I'll leave it short..

Soooo... Holidays were great and I feel as if I were a new me.

And now I'm back to uni, at ECA (yesssssss), and well, the animation above is part of the beginning of this year. Hopefully later I'll upload way better things!

Also I'm in the juggling society and I just love it... And the film society is great as well. Haha, so many societies, so little time.... Anyway, maybe I'll be around more often in here again! Keeping track of thoughts and work is a great way to analyze and improve your work!

Red curtains

As clock ticks unstoppable, there's so many things happening around us.
Don't rush, don't think about it, just let yourself go. As the waves come and go, let yourself flow.

Cirque! - Barullo

On monday of last week I went to my first juggling class and suddenly, the next day, I was on my way to a cirque convention in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

It was like living in another world. Every day was full of workshops, and every night there was a show. I met amazing people and came back with passion for juggling and cirque (we even saw a tornado taking a camping house up just like in the movies).

I'll keep practicing so one day I can be as the people I met there..

Fmp Outcome

The outcome of my final project for this year. Research about 'The Disturbing Feeling' in movies, surreality (specially nightmares), and experimental animation.

Special thanks to Mia for lending me her hand and all her support :)

Mulholland Drive - David Lynch

This movie is brilliant. It's like the fifth or sixth time I watch it (this time sketching and watching), and still I wonder about it's meaning.

Explicit, harsh, surreal.

For Japan...

Designed by my friend, Scuaren (all life friend, like a sister, and many good adjectives..).

Never give up the hope, Japan. You'll stand up again. You are strong. People keep sending their thoughts and love to you... I keep doing it, and I will keep doing it. Don't be scared. We keep sending our voices.

Your Face - Bill Plympton, 1987

This animation has been hunting my mind.. As if in secondary effects it had entered in my thoughts in such a strange way..

(Aka: How things work - What to do with a face ;D)

Potatoes

I won't finish my animation of the psycho guy.. So much work left to do..

The potato shape of the leaf looks nice..

"Suspense"

Animation so far.

I was always thinking in each project I wanted to do an animation, but always contradicted myself with other thoughts like "there's no time", "how am I gonna do it?". It might not be the best animation in the world, but that's how people begin... It's like drawing: it's all about practice and not being afraid of white pages. How can you become better at something if you don't try? (those were my thoughts when I began this project ;p)

So, the animation workshop at school left me thinking you can make a non-perfect animation. I wanted to experiment with movement and spots.

One of my influences is Anna Ginsburg, again, with her short animations per day. And also Michèle Cournoyer with her short animation "Le Chapeau" (the hat), where she bases the story in lines that transform in different parts of the body. Very expressive.

I also have recently watched an animation by Caroline Leaf called The Street. She's very experimental in her animations and uses different materials to make them. I love the feeling this one has. She used paint with glycerine on glass.
