1. Sound/Paper

by Loup Thévenin

9 months ago

This is my second paper-animation movie. These are reversible b&w paper structures, based on Hexstatic's "Pulse" (Ninjatune) played reverse, each object illustrating a sound.
This a stop-motion movie, so I had to cut and fold approximatively 270 models I previously had drawn before filming each one of them : over 2500 pictures were taken, no cg work at all.
Hope you'll enjoy it !

Looks incredible. After doing a few stopmotion animations myself I don't even dare to think how long this took to make...
Loup Thévenin 7 months ago

well thanks to you, I found your vid with the couscous pretty good-looking too. Actually it took me a some weeks to think, draw and fold the models, and the shooting and montage took 24 hours_without sleeping :)_

Wonderful! The reverse paper effect looks so delicious at times!

AMAZING dedication to the vision, how much coffee does one consume during this process?
Loup Thévenin 5 months ago

Loup Thévenin 5 months ago

hem... two old desktop lamps ? I actually had to rework the vid because the images were green and not contrasted enough

NAUSSICA_aka_TELLEMAC 5 months ago

its cool but i think with a little bit more time you could manage more tension between the figures. but nice work anyway, respect man!.
Loup Thévenin 5 months ago

You're right, the models were supposed to combine with each other but, you know what it is, not enough time, blah, blah, blah...
NAUSSICA_aka_TELLEMAC 5 months ago

i know what it is, myself i often dont have time to make it right or at least as i wish i would like to do it, many of projects are just sketches for something bigger maybe in the future but, as i said - nice work.:)

Sort of reminds me of early avant-garde films (abstract cinema) making claims at studying perception (i.e. youtube.com/watch?v=uhv2KpQGMqY or youtube.com/watch?v=v9yETAg-Dzk), I really like the way the shapes come alive, but are made of such simple contrasts. I particularly like the way that when the internally collapsing pyramid gets to a certain point it necessarily hops a little, like it's dancing. Thank you.
Loup Thévenin 5 months ago

Thanks to you !
Duncan Birnie 5 months ago

Awesome work! The smoothness of motion was fantastic, and you nailed the visulisation of each sound. Great!

This is awesome, must have required lots of patience!
Tony Clavelli 5 months ago

The timing is great here--the way the paper looks like it gains momentum as it swings to a different shape. Well-thought, nice work!
Christopher McCastle 5 months ago

Just wonderful. Good job. I like your subject. I would have liked to see the shapes interact with each other by the climax.
willem van kruijsdijk 5 months ago

Superb! Loved it! I would like to see a similar work with platonic solids, that must be magical, but it seems impossible to fold in paper.
Loup Thévenin 5 months ago

Maybe it works with some platonic solids, that's a challeng ! I'll try it...
willem van kruijsdijk 5 months ago

Yeah, it is always so intriguing these solids, and you, as the great artist you surely are could do some great work with them.
I love the dodecahedron as a form it has something extra.....

Et bien en fait je suis en diplôme de gravure sur cuivre, mais on a des cours d'expression plastique et on nous donne des sujets sur lesquels on peut bosser chez nous, avec technique libre. On a eu un peu plus d'un mois pour bosser celui ci...
Yahya Abdal-Aziz 5 months ago

On y donne un diplôme de gravure sur cuivre? Unreal! ;-)
Alors, peux-tu faire un stop-mo animant une telle gravure?

Mes formes favories sont les deux qui se font obéisance. Y la musique - cést toute ton oeuvre seulement? Vraiment cool!
Loup Thévenin 5 months ago

Yes, I'm currently trying to make an animation using engraving ; hope it will work
