April Animate (2019 + 2022)

2019: 45 secs . 2022. 1 minute

What started as an outreach to friends across the country late in 2019 turned into a covid -related scramble to keep connected despite the chaos.

This “exquisite corpse’ style animation , each animator was given one frame to create a loop from, ranging from 24 frames minimum to as long as the animator wanted!

I drafted the character and frame, an animated loop, as well as organized and facilitated the project from ideation to fruition.

Animators from all over the U.S banded together to create these two pieces.

A collection of animators across the U.S create an exquisite corpse.
