Mykonos by Grandchildren

Take art paper, cut into abstract and geometric shapes, film a nearly representational visual story set to popular music, film each small movement of the paper frame by frame, add four weeks of that by a merry band of animators and you get...

this exceptional cut paper animation by Sean Pecknold (bygrandchildren.com), Jesse Brown (papervspencil.com), Toby Liebowitz (inbruno.com), and Chris Ando (myspace.com/talbottagora)


Mykonos from Grandchildren on Vimeo.

I like the way the action and gesture match the haunting music perfectly in mood as well as timing. It's mesmerizing and can grow on you...

There is a making of video here as well: vimeo.com/3090846
