FILM #4 "Internal"
from my MFA thesis
4 WALKS IN NEWHALL:
Exercises in Type & Film

My thesis explored how typography can add narrative complexity to a film by creating 4 very short films based on the same story. Film #4 "Internal" focuses on the character's internal monologue. I wanted to give it a flat graphic quality and to separate the character from his environment, so I shot it using paper cutouts and stop motion animation. The images and text are in separate spaces but are integrated through their shared materiality on the page. (2008)
