My thesis advisor, Prof. Kathy Smith, showed me a beautiful animated piece from Australia called "Where The Forest Meets the Sea" by Jeannie Baker. This animation was made entirely by hand using the layering techniques of the multi-plan camera. A young boy journeys into the rainforest alone while his father fishes on the beach. I was particularly struck by the level of depth Ms. Baker achieved with her layers of trees, vines, and jungle plants. The animation of the boy is limited, but I think this really conveys the humility he feels amongst the natural wonders of the forest. The textures and the lighting will require further study as I can see how this could help my production of "Salome."
