Psst! Pass it On...
I will be DJing at the world premiere screening of the Psst! Pass it On... series of collaborative films next week -- Tuesday, August 8th, 7 to 11 PM at Kanvas. I had the opportunity to write about these shorts for RES and they will not dissapoint fans of short film, animation, motion graphics and the like. The basic principal is based loosely on the Surrealist game of Exquisite Corpse. In other words, one team of artists works on 1/3 of the film and then sends it to the next team who complete the next third and so on. It makes for really interesting films on the whole and for a fun study in transition. Discovering the methods by which each set of artists chooses to add-on to the previous section is the real heart of the project. Some makes smooth slides, others intentionally trainwreck. It's unpredictable and a great watch. RIYL: RESfest, One Dot Zero, Gas Books, WeWorkForThem, etc. Resources
