We made this video using an experimental animation process that
utilizes the principals of traditional cell animation (think of a flip
book) in a very unique way. By removing the negative space of each cell
or frame of animation you are able to see the history of frames before
it. For our piece, we designed an animation rig that was 19 frames deep,
allowing us to see 19 frames of our animation at once.
The animation was designed digitally as a flat 2D image, then each
frame was printed and cut by hand. Once cut, each frame was run through
the animation rig and photographed in stereoscopic 3D. Once photography
was complete, all the images were compiled to create one fluid animation.
