Gravity Rebels.


Gravity Rebels (september 2008, 4'30)
Presented and screened at the 2009 Yebisu Festival for Arts and Alternative Visions in Tokyo, Japan.
Screened at Federation Square as part of the 2010 Next Wave Festival, Melbourne.

A handful of different bold shapes are animated in a simplified silhouette animation. Throughout the film the shapes are constantly moving around in a sepia playground, changing and morphing in and out of each other. The gravity in this world often shifts with sometimes the shapes free to float around the screen and, at other times, restricted to move in the ways of the real world. I chose particular sounds for each shape to build them a unique character so that when many appear on the screen at once they create a cluttering symphony. As they playfully challenge the laws of nature, the imagined becomes real in this film of lively transformation.
