Moving Image
Red Run is a short graphic film of risograph printing production and still frame progression. The fascinating sonic pairing with the radial movement of halftone illuminates the complexity and output beauty of this printing method. Circle after circle seems to suspend time as the variation in the sound allows your mind to wander as you optically bathe in the animation.Mark Up is a short 16mm experimental film. Hand drawn across 230 frames individually, this abstract production is a fun, up tempo composition.
