I made Garden Without Flowers in 1999 using watercolor cut-outs and backgrounds. Fausto Caceres created the amazing soundtrack.

* note- I just updated with a less pixilated version.

I’m working on a series of watercolor paintings based on stills from my animation short “Migrations.” I wanted something tangible from the whole experience of making the film in Flash. The problem with making my film on the computer is that all of it is in pixels and light. Sure, I can get reproductions of the stills, but I still want the feeling of something that I have physically made.
When I made my thesis film I used watercolor cut-outs and shot it under an Oxberry camera. The whole experience of being in that image-making submarine was difficult and wonderful.
I still have all the parts of that piece and it’s nice to see the visible progress of making something move on film.
So, now I’m tracking backwards to get that whole feeling of making a film. I’ll see how it goes.
