A Brief Critique 16/09: Andy Kennedy “Accumulonimbus”

Accumulonimbus from andy kennedy on Vimeo.

Natural and man-made objects on a spin cycle accumulate, disintegrate, and multiply. Created by stop motion animating clay on glass, the film is a meditation on motion and the life cycle of matter.

This clay mation/ stop motion piece from Andy Kennedy was the video I had selected for Thursday's five minute critique.

From the offset of this short we are given a sense of depth as the POV shot takes us through a deep tunnel into the titles and on to the narrative. A simplistic start of a clay sphere in the spinning drum of our main motion, brings fourth a snowball effect. This could be said carries the sense of progression throughout the animation. The constant spinning motion in conjunction with the audio soundtrack dictate the movement of the short, this timing allows for a seamless flow. It could be concieved that the director has produced a physically circular timeline.

Although it is essentially taken at one side angle view throughout, through the us of the clay the animator still manages to produce some senses of depth with such parts as the shirt on the washing line. At times also, it could be implied that a kaleidoscopic effect is curated with the three depths of spinning houses.

In regards for colour, it has been kept fairly simplistic. This may be to emphasise the subject "matter" and how the simple becomes vast and impressive in a scientifically bigger picture. The monochrome colour scheme also gives the animation an industrial and a slightly more clinical feel with the bright backlighting giving more intensity to the foreground,

From an accompanying link on Motionographer we are given a behind the scenes look of the making of 'Accumulonimbus'. From story boarding to flash to various stop motion software, Andy Kennedy then creates his own home made aerial shooting studio capturing the clay mation with a mounted Canon SLR. The behind the scenes images and footage make this a particularly impressive piece for amateur animators to witness.
