Eager 20148:30min
Traditional clay-mation and stop-motion animated film.
Film by Allison Schulnik
Cinematography by Helder K. Sun
Music by Aaron M. Olson
Alison Schulnik is an artist well known for her ephemeral, dark, and grotesque claymation that confront themes of nature, death, life, rituals,and decay. She sculpts bizzare anamorphic creatures with clay, such as zombie horses and dancing flowers. She also paints,draws, and sculpts; she says that her animations are often inspired from a figure in her paintings that she really wants to see move and breath, so she will sculpt it out of clay. I wondered how long it takes to animate such detail oriented videos. In an interview in LA Weekly, Schulnik spoke about the technicalities that went into her claymations. I learned that an animation is 24 frames a second. Schulnik says she works relatively fast ; when animating, she work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for a good 9 week straight.. just for the animation part. She animates in a dark room for hours and hours creating a mini world. She says " It's complete escapism. I love it. And when you see the result, it's magic."
