Walk to School

Walk to School remix estwo interests I that I wished to explore further: writing music and film. The result is a rotoscope animation of my walk from my Boston apartment to the studio accompanied by an original piano score. I filled almost 30 pages with illustrated frames. My decision to draw everything by hand and to highlight the colorful vellum that I drew on was influenced by 20th century experimental animators like Oskar Fischinger, Stan Brackhage, and especially Robert Breer. I used whatever materials I had available to me, which led to the changing paper colors as well as uneven line weights through the use of different pens. I drew only in pen so that I could not fix mistakes and to allow for the shakiness of my movements to be clearly visible.
