From the Brothers McLeod:
HALFWAY THERE!
That’s right we are halfway through our year long film, animating one second a day throughout 2013
‘365’ – One film, One Year, One Second a day BAFTA winning Brothers take on a film one second at a time
365 is an improvised film made up of a second a day of animation which will continue through 2013 culminating in a film which will chart the comings and goings of the year, real and imaginned.
Using the everyday as inspiration to create an abstract, disconnected stream of consciousness which allows the viewer to find connections to create narratives and to find hidden meanings which may or may not be there.
Something during the day will catch my eye or it will be something I’ve read or overheard. It may be my children who spark an idea or it may be a dream I’ve had. It may be an interesting building. A painting or image from a book or magazine may provide the source material. It may be a sound that informs the visuals.
From day to day the new animation is unknown to me until that moment of inspiration strikes. The seconds when joined together can appear disconnected or form small narratives. Each section is a mini story in itself. A part of a narrative we never see. We only glimpse but a second of it, the rest of the story continuing in another unmade animation.
365 is a visual self portrait of a my year. Passing of time, changing locations and emotional states and flights of improvised imaginings all going towards the final product, a 7 minute film, to overwhelm, to delight in, to laugh at and to baffle in equal measure.
Here is the latest video for June
