A Razor's Edge



I can't track down where this video comes from or whose work it is (Any Forest reader happen to know?). I'm posting it because I think of the many excellent stop motion paper cut animations being shared online these days, this one begins to broach fine art. Especially in the second-half's experimentation with rotation and illumination. There are beginnings of symbolic contexts, as with the hands being waves for the boat. And an overall edgy mood that is a razor's edge to achieve.

Whomever you are... Brava! --Updated:
