28.11.02 Stop Motion Studies, jerky animation in the web.
The techniques of stop-motion have been used historically for work of animation, especially in the seventies in Eastern refined with past results, even from our state television. These techniques were to create the animation through a long series of photographs, reducing the number of frames per second and emphasizing the narrative. David Crawford has created and commissioned by Turbulence.org a series of Stop Motion Studies (SMS) , a series of 'poor man's video', as he calls them that continue his research on our experience of time, space and ' identity. The animations are so made of shots, but repeated in a non-linear due to the sequencing of Flash MX, and taking advantage of the specific characteristics of digital footage, such as the blurring of moving objects. The result sets in motion the static images in a loop irregular memory that makes smooth animation fragmenting perception.
