Filigree and Shadow (Full Video)
​
A commission for bespoke Melbourne jewellery story, Filigree and Shadow, this piece is a collaboration between myself and Hattori Art.
​
Using a mix of live action and animation, the film was composed to honour the passage of time, Melbourne park life and as an homage to love.
​
It was designed to be projected onto a canvas which is centre piece of the in store widow display. Paper craft and fine cutting was also implemented to create a physical set for the canvass to sit in.
​
Actors, green screens, rotoscoping and traditional digital 2D animation technics were employed to create the 4 minute film.
​
It can be viewed live at 156 St Georges road, Fitzroy, Melbourne.

Dear David (2016)
