Sometimes I go after a director for one film and they’ll come back at me with another that completely trumps my already high appreciation of their work. This week is such a case with director Gabriel Tupinamba and his lyrical study on repetition Das Dores.

It’s not often a director gets to come up with his own type of animation, but after experimenting with the Strata-cut method Javan Ivey combined his love of working with paper and developed a technique dubbed as Stratastencil on his experimental piece My Paper Mind.

My Paper Mind (2007)
An experimental animation exploring the “Stratastencil” technique devised by director Javan Ivey. Inspired by the Stratacut technique, Stratastencil is an additive process. Stratacut removes material to reveal another layer, while this technique adds another layer while still showing the layer before it.
I got to flex my writing muscles again over at Short of the Week for Tom Stern’s experimental The Autobiography of Tom Stern, Chapter Six: The New Science. Go read and watch.

Past guest Robert Seidel (DN065) puts his experimental approach to animation to work on a canvas worthy of his talent. In his own words: “processes: living paintings” is a 35 by 16 meter full facade projection with a corresponding light choreography, ambient music and synced sound effects shown on the 2/2/2008 in Jena, Germany.

A tip off from past guest Robert Seidel led me to the work of animator Max Hattler, who has been described by Dazed and Confused as one of “three of the world’s most exciting young animators”, next to PES and Model Robot. He joins us this week to discuss his experimental piece Drift.
