Good Morning, Here’s something the good Mario Celestino sent us: Super imagery and poignant storytelling. The piano creates an ominous tone poem for the oft-distressing surreal animated portraits of life as we knew it and how our planet’s delicate ecosystem, clearly on a collision course with mankind since the machine-age, seems to be pleading with us, heralding a sad reality of the future while simultaneously challenging corrective measures to allow the earth a “last chance” for another tomorrow. We already sense the truth yet third-eye-blindness is all too convenient. One wonders whether the earth must become silent before man can hear its cry. Obviously, that would be too late. Last chance, for sure! Getting to do alot of translating today. Here’s a review from kabytes.com. Gracias. Una maravilla del digital painting, llena de contrastes de color y espacios imaginarios. Llama a la reflexión como si la propia tierra estuviera pidiendo auxilio. A marvel of a a digital painting. An flood of imagination and contrasting colors. A fiery reflection of a world requesting aid. Here’s a really nice review from Guru63.com. In true self centered artist fashion, negative reviews will be discarded Last Chance un bellissimo video per salvare il pianeta: My foreign is a little rusty but loosely translated to:
Last Chance at the Reel Earth Film Festival in New Zealand! See you there! From Project_Last_Chance on Flickr. Last Chance started out as three pencil drawings. The Comet, the Trees leaving and the Dancing Lady. They were the key scenes and became the first storyboard panels. The animation ended up with 27 paintings in the end. At least that’s what they’re supposed to be, moving paintings. The idea was to make something “impressionistic”, where the first glimpse of the painting contains all the information. The story is intentionally on the darker side. We start of with a brief heavenly glimpse, Shipibo patterns of the Amazon, and then it’s all downhill from there. Only towards the end when all options have been exhausted are we allowed to fly again. Anyway, here are the original three drawings that started the whole thing. From Project_Last_Chance on Flickr. |
