An Autumn Story in chalk

Music Video / Film

Our friends at Coudal blog just linked to Lucinda Schreiber and Yanni Kronenberg's charming animated music video for Firekites track, Autumn Story, which was made using white chalk, a series of blackboards and an awful lot of rubbing out...

On her Vimeo page, Schreiber explains that they "shot roughly 1900 frames... [and that] the frame rate varies between 12fps, 8fps and 6fps throughout". The project apparently took "six months from start to finish... about four of them full-time".

By the looks of the finished film, it was well worth the effort.

I love this! Can't decide whether this or the Oren Lavie stop motion video is my favourite.

it reminds me of 'blu's work which uses paint in the same form.

nice. reminds me of some of bluu's stuff.

it's great how the rubouts work as texture and add to the final piece.

Would love to do stuff like this myself, but don;'t have the patience and would no doubt bump into the camera a few times during shooting.

i doff my cap to you chalkimationists.
