Selected Animated Clips from OUR WORLD

Here’s some more animation!

These are selected clips from the animated short, OUR WORLD.

This film was produced over several years and just finalized a couple of months ago.
The working premiere was screened in Cologne in October 2005 before a “standing room only crowd”

When I created the project I was thinking in terms of an ANIJAM (a film organized by Marv Newland)- a sort of animation relay.

I wanted to see what other folks thought of the world. I tried to involve students from schools here in the States…and for one reason or another
it never quite unfolded…

In 2005, I took the project to IFS - International FilmSchule in Koln (Cologne) and two groups of students along with
animator Jared Chapman in Austin, Texas and yours truly worked on the film. Work was produced in Savannah, Cologne, Austin and Provence.

The animation you see is some of my work on the film. I have added narration.

I want to thank Alexandra Ohlsen from IFS who produced the final film version. Also big thanks to Kent Braun of Digicel, Inc. for
the use of Flipbook software (the best and easiest 2D animation software around).

Thanks also to all the artists who worked on the film and to Sadie Miley for her work on the digital ink and paint of my sequences.

Last but least to my lifetime muse, Tricia, who for over 30 years has inspired me.

even more animated…..

    I’ve just returned from England after a weekend of (fortunately) foiled terrorist attacks on prominent spots in the UK. It’s good to see the English (and Scottish) remain largely undaunted in the face of such atrocities. Kudos to their security forces. Makes one wonder, though, if or rather when something like that will be attempted in Germany.
    I guess this just goes to show that your sections from Our World are still relevant to what’s happening on this, our world.

    (Say, we seem to use similar layouts for our blogspots and I notice yours is now looking a little “off”, too. I contacted AWN about that a while ago but nothing appears to have changed …)

    Thanks Christoph,

    Yeh, I have to check on the format - I may have to change formats or something

    About OUR WORLD- my films (at least the larger projects) seem to deal with those kinds of issues.

    Animation makes an impact like no other medium. my Irish project, ANIMAGIC was wonderful- a primer for conversation and thought and dealing with some of the North-South issues.

    Thanks for your comments.
