ANIMATED JOURNAL
“I had always liked the picture a day format, video diaries etc, and animation is, traditionally a long drawn out, painful process, so this was me trying to find a way to free it up and make it a bit more ephemeral. I should’ve just waited a few years for the smartphones to do it for me, but there you are.”
I’m not really …
“I’m not really sure what to make of Paul’s animated experiments but there is something hypnotic and mesmerizing about these snippets of life. It’s like dipping a toe in somebody else’s sensorial experience, vaguely voyeuristic without the seedy Big Brother connotations. Which is a good thing, because somehow I doubt an animator’s lifestyle could compete with the glossy glamour of watching a Z-list celebrity painting their toenails.”

Still not sure about the name, but anyhow.
I’ve always like the picture a day format, video diaries etc, and wanted to loosen my fixation that animation is a long drawn out torture-fest.
So here I am making it about instincts, ephemera & brevity.
Hopefully weekly, probably more like monthly.
There is no quality guarantee.
