#gullermo

Song is Ora by Lisa Hannigan!

Video description: an announcement that I'm working on a short mixed media stop motion animation about Gullermo, the lesser black backed gull who has visited my balcony yearly while I was housebound with chronic illness. I show a very short claymation scene of Gullermo clicking his beak and shuffling in front of a cotton cloud sky, and a time lapse of me making it on a multiplane animation camera. I continue to show different concept sketches and an animation of red leaves pulsing like a heart, and finish with a video of the real Gullermo honking on my balcony while I chuckle behind the camera.

Here's the trailer for my animation graduation film Gullermo! Gullermo is an autobio love letter to the titular seagull who has kept me company over the lonely years of chronic illness.

A mixed media solo project involving claymation, sticky notes, oil pastels, collage, photocopied video animation and animation of found materials (dried leaves, flowers, plants, texts) all shot under a multiplane camera setup.
