ASIFA is making the rounds...


So as board member of our regional International Animation Association, I have been asked to promote our organization all over Denver.
This week I participated in the Resource Fair at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. The night before, I completed what I call "The Zoetroprototype"...a mockup of a large zoetrope made from bicycle parts, cardboard and a wooden stool. The frames were made in illustrator and rotoscoped from Edweard Muybridge's famous Animal Locomotion studies. It works pretty well in the dark with a bright spotlight, not so well under the ambient light of the sun. Those interested in ASIFA-Colorado should visit our website here.

  1. I like how you used individual frames for the animation, instead of a single sheet that wraps all the way around. I bet this method will make it way easier to do adjustments on the animation. Maybe some sort of enclosure with a light might help solve the problem with ambient sunlight.

  2. Is this going to be on display at the Wes Price International open gallery tonight?
