This week I thought I’d use an
animation as a contextual example of practice; some of you are making
animations so this film offers many useful examples of compositing approaches
and composition and transition relationships and techniques. Additionally the film is primarily developed
using Photoshop digital still frame images and after effects. The film
animators also use a form of rotoscopic technique in aftereffects using the photographic
photoshoped elements. Generally
the characters appearances conform to the same type of stylization we observed
in the Work of Mark Ryden and Femke Hiemstra, e.g. enlarged doe eyes
,diminutive treatments of bodies and hands .So Saleh’s treatment of character
form is in the new anime mode. One other noteworthy feature of this work is the
sophisticated use of textures effects and treatments It had a a budget
of $4.5 million (US), even so because it was primarily made in photoshop and after-effects
it still seems conceivable that the likes of you or myself could produce
something of similar quality and duration.
Plot Summary
In the near future, oil reserves are nearly
depleted and Europe is connected by series of underground tunnels. While
navigating these tunnels, Roger hears voices, one in particular. Seeking a way
to rid himself of the voice only leads Roger deeper into a bizarre conspiracy
of control - mind and body.
The story takes place in 2024, Europe. A
gloomy dystopia of Orwellian proportion in which natural
resources are depleted and global financial markets have crashed. One company
controls the global European subway system called "The Metro". After
hearing voices inside his head Roger meets Anna a model who offers to help him unshackle
this psychosis, this relationship starts him on a journey which reveals a global surveillance and mind control
conspiracy.
