Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

I shouldn’t say I’m finished, but I’ve taken this project, which was just meant to be a test of whether I could create something that was audio-synchronized, as far as I’m going to. As you know, it’s an excerpt of the poem “Bomb” by Gregory Corso (read by him, with John Zorn in the background), animated by me using the free 2D animation tool Pencil (and some color tweaking in Photoshop, although it is just a black and white line drawing). I really had a ton of fun making this, but I’ve got other projects — and other people — and other programs to learn, so here you go! Click through for higher quality.

I am not going to colourize the whole thing, but I did do some experiments doing just that. If you’d like, click here to see a fragment of the colourization experiment for “Bomb”. In addition, because the video goes by very quickly, you should watch it a few times if you enjoy it because it’s hard not to miss a lot, or if you want you can also see it in 7.5 fps slow motion (which actually still goes by quite quickly).

If I had more time I’d do Marriage… it’s hilarious…
