Lost in Information (Animated Short Film)

 

Recently finished a great artistic traditional animation project for Gerry Lindfield of Strange Pixels Ltd and GeeFX Studios bringing the illustrations of Norwegian artist Astrid Iverslien* to life using animation. Lost in Information is a very interesting book about the evil lure of the smartphone screen.

Whilst remaining respectful to the illustrations and not creating too much extra movement the animation was subtle but to the point. Using a line~boil style the art was created in photoshop and animated in after effects.

This was an awesome opportunity to create some "arty" animation and build on already very strong imagery. Each illustration offered different challenges, due to the varying style and technique.

After the project was completed Gerry sent me an email with some great feedback... "I wanted to say how good I thought the animations were, particularly considering the volume. There was a distinct look to each one which gave a lot of added value which the client also noticed."
