Director’s Notes

YOUTUBE LINK: https://youtu.be/v9B1xHfPPY4 For “In the Dark” I was inspired by 60s design icons Mary Blair and Ray Eames. Both Blair and Eames had wonderful studios full of toys, textiles and furniture, that they felt inspired joy in the viewer. I think it’s every artist’s dream to work out of a studio as amazing as Blair or Eames, and to create work that makes the world slightly more beautiful.

The animation’s narrative focuses on a designer maically manipulating the “colourful junk” in her office, and using the designs to transform her city.

It was animated using the colourful junk in my own studio, with both stopmotion and digital techniques. :)
