<this
character was simply called character...like a dog with no name..../>
<laying
three cels on top of each other with their backing sheets reveals the large
gaps between the phases, indicating a fast movement. the black scribbles were
made with a marker during the shoot, to cover small dust and paint sparkle
on the cel. polarising filters on the lights minimised cel glare.../>
<at
the very end of the film, the characters return to their objects in the form
of glowing coloured lines. this was achieved by burning their images into photographs
of the artefacts on a second exposure. painting with light creates a very disembodied
effect which is ideal for suggesting that the characters can only take on their
full personalities outside the confines of the collection itself .../>
<a
negative is made of the black traced line. It is then realigned with the original
drawing and surrounded with black paper. This prevents any unwanted light
from passing through the artwork when it is being exposed.../>
<most
of the characters appear at least twice, usually the first time as pure line
drawings, then subsequently with infills as they gain more substance...>/
<the
texture is stylised from the verdigris on the original.../>
