Environment from The Man of Stone
Maya
My goal with this environment was to achieve the kind of perspective distortion found in Cabinet of Dr. Caligari without employing a full-blown expressionist style. The idea was also to incorporate shadows into the scenery which would complement the light set-up employed during the actual filming of the multiplane animation, again à la Caligari. |

Scenes from an Untitled Animation Project
Maya
The starting point for this project was the concept of "presence through absence" in which absence is so unavoidable that it becomes a presence. In effect, two figures are present in the animation: the absent one, and the one embodying the camera's gaze. The idea was to convey a narrative essentially concerning loss through lighting, environment, sound, and camerawork. |
