squarecarousel: Challenge 61: QDC ‘Future’ Collaboration: Utopia/DystopiaZoe and I took the challenge quite literally. We turned to literature for our ideas on the future and briefly considered something in the vein of F451 or 1984 - but eventually we decided something a little more topical, both abroad and close to home, might be appropriate. Zoe had suggested this quote and as soon as I read it I could envision the letters as buildings, - Or at least some vaguely architectural structures. Certain elements of the letters repeat themselves in different places - the construction and the deconstruction of the letters as buildings and as individual building shapes was a very interesting typographic exploration. Getting to see some narrative arrive from it, to see it move makes it all the more hypnotic.Zoe and I may be doing more of these - I couldn’t help keeping my eyes peeled for other quotes to animate….Kirsten Allen WEBSITE | TUMBLRZoe Lotus WEBSITE | TUMBLR This was a great theme, and Kirsten was the perfect partner! She destroyed with these letters, I hate that we had to compress the gif for Tumblr’s sake because they are so detailed. I’m not an effects animator, so I wanted to figure out how fire animation would look in my style. Be sure to check out all of the excellent collaborations from this month over at Square Carousel and Quick Draw Collective. -- source link
