I am making:
My project is a narrative animation constructed entirely from the scientific drawings of Ernst Haeckel. It references classic 20th Century storybook illustration techniques, but ultimately aims to tell a more postmodern tale.
Because I want to find out:
What stylistic opportunities are afforded to this unique graphical style, and how I can use it to animate recognizable characters.
To help my community of practice understand:
That this is a viable means of communication, which uses modern digital technology to allude to the illustrators and animators of the past (like Lotte Reinger, Errol Le Cain, and Kay Nielsen) while subverting traditional expectations by telling a postmodern, existential narrative.
