you
I mean I try to be entertaining I think
I'll entertain myself at least because
when I'm going to look at this animation
of doing right now I'm going to be
excited the CK I'm getting already
impatient to see how it's going to look
but I have to wait that the result comes
back from the lab and of course we want
to look at it on then you can correct
but I like this idea that you can't
correct
you
well I was very impressed by norms work
and the fact that he's one of the most
important scientists arrival so I felt I
had something to contribute some books I
start with a dot I take a picture I grow
the dot and so on smaller addition you
do the smoother or the motion will be
the theme is my illustration of no arms
point of view on science and on science
in general how do we identify something
as a tree you plant a tree you cut a
branch of it and you put that branch in
the ground
I suppose it grows and becomes exactly
identical to the original tree is that
new one the same willow tree why not
it's not so simple even though I'm
really illustrating somebody else point
of view when I was drawing I felt I had
a 100% freedom it was important to have
everything on paper because I Irish
shirt everything on 16 millimeter and it
would create a texture that I feel a
cinematic on the paper sort of drinks
the ink so you can see that the end of
each line is brighter than the base
because the Sharpie needs some time to
dry and when it's wet its brightest and
that gives a layer of life to the resin
I had the idea to use animation and
especially abstract animation because I
felt that was the only way I could
illustrate his science without
simplifying it too much it sort of
reminded me of the school program you
could watch on TV when I was a kid and
some thing about the early eighties TV
show where they would do simple
animation to illustrate scientific
concept but I was never supposed to
interview um I was afraid I would look a
little ignorant which I have but how'd
you say I'll do not when you born with
what well I could you can eat yeah but
you use the world on dolmen how do you
spell it greater than the blank I mean I
make fun of myself but in a way that
people can can identify and as well I
make big fun of him because getting him
to listen to me was a challenge and I
wanted to show that so I'm going to take
a picture of this room okay can reverse
it negative because I'm gonna draw over
it or in front of it and then I'm going
to reverse all thing back in positive so
the line will be negative and the photo
positive so I'm printing it now
that's my photo I put this plastic layer
so the Sharpie doesn't bleed on the
background so you can see I can make the
background look blurry more or less
blurry which is very nice alright so
we're going to do a drawing of know I'm
working across the room having it I know
I'm going to have to animate all the
work so I don't want to make it to make
it too complicated so I have this
relationship with drawing because it's a
way to make people smile and do
something a bit artistic and narrative
but let's say for instance I wanted
Audrey to two to play in my new movie I
draw it so I draw myself writing a
letter I'm flying across America to
France dropping the letter that I cut my
arm I mean it's completely absurd but I
do it because I think she's going to be
maybe a little moved or touched by the
effort I put into it tak tak tak tak tak
Tai tak yeah I'm cheating it's going to
be half a step but since it is sinking
you know yes sometimes this leg should
go throat okay I need to do the six on
the line first and then I have to are
you asking me to do computer work
so that was done with the FEMA
Bastardo all right now I'm shooting the
loop that is the easiest part but I
can't get confused okay so I moved the
background of a quarter of an inch and I
put the picture number two and I move
the background I had met no AMA over the
course of maybe five years a couple of
timer years and I find him to be very
friendly a very human when his wife
passed away he was very affected and
then who was een who was a close friend
passed away and you I knew he was the
recite about that do you mind if I ask
you about your feeling when your wife
passed away I should not talk about that
it's this one
I can't get her over yeah
it was my intention to show his humanity
because I felt that if people seemed
like that they would be more inclined to
listen to his wife on the political
aspect what he has to say in politics
are the environment he's it's important
to make the world a better place if not
to save them my own impression over 75
years of activism is that the level of
energy and dedication and commitment
especially on part of young people today
is as high as anything I can remember
but there are very intensive pressures
to try to beat it back there's been
quite a campaign from kindergarten to
universities to try to impose a
discipline obedience apathy but you can
first struggle against it and plenty of
people are doing it and there's a lot
that has been done a lot more can be
done
huh I tube I'm gonna do that it's a joke
