Local animators Tess Martin and Stefan Gruber present new work
Free!
Tess Martin and Stefan Gruber are two local animators and members of SEAT, Seattle Experimental Animation Team. They both value receiving feedback from the public about their work, but often find it hard to receive honest feedback in a normal screening environment. For this reason they will be asking for comments/questions/suggestions after each piece is presented, in the hopes of generating a discussion. You may use the questionnaire if you don't feel comfortable sharing your thoughts in public. Thank you in advance for your participation.
'Plain Face' is a 10 minute stop-frame animated film. In a fantastical land, a stranger arrives and is the subject of prejudice, violence and love. We follow her journey through memory as she decides whether to give up her heart.
PSYCHIC PORTRAITURE:
Stefan Gruber performs a show in which he paints portraits of audience members with animated light on a stage arranged with a large-sized canvas. Symbols from the life of the model also materialize to decorate the portrait. In a banter with the model and audience, psychic details are intuited.
