MY
PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT:
As
director, Lars worked closely with artist Liam Gillick, to breathe new
life into this particlular incarnation of Annlee, empowering her as an
enchantress with control over the elements.Liam
entrusted Lars to re-interpret the storyboard and script, developing dynamic
design solutions, with emphasis on innovative
aesthetic and
animation style, yet being true to her 'broken' identity. Distinctive
scratchy textures (via scanned photo-negatives and kodalith) as animated
sequences of files, projected throughout the 3D environments, in combination
with intense lighting texhniques, burning out the typically 'hard' 3D
edges to the structural elements, allowed for an interesting 'kinetic
charge' to Anlee and her environment.
