Latin American Experimental Animation Favorites

For those of you who missed the Latin American Experimental Animation screening at Mini Microcinema yesterday, here are a bunch of my personal favorites from the show.

Overall the tone of the show was creepy, a little dilapidated or decaying, a little scary, but with genuinely beautiful moments.

Luis- Diluvio Animacion (Chile)

Luis is the 2nd short video of the series “Lucía, Luis y el lobo” (”Lucía, Luis and the Wolf”), it is a follow-up to the short video Lucía. The video was shot frame by frame with a digital photo camera. Materials: charcoal, dirt, flowers, found objects and cardboard.

Aedes- Quique Rivera (Puerto Rico)

(Adult themes)

"Aedes" is a cyclic animation that explores the relationship between various small objects: a syringe needle, a bullet, and money.

Violence, drug dependance and ambition are as transmissible as a disease on a mosquito bite.

Lucia- Diluvio Animacion (Chile)

Lucía is the 1st short video of the 2-part series “Lucía, Luis y el lobo” (”Lucía, Luis and the Wolf”). The video was shot frame by frame with a digital photo camera. Materials: charcoal, dirt, flowers, found objects and cardboard.

SiSiSISiSISiSiSiSiSiSi- Juan Camilo Gonzalez (Colombia/USA)

The never-ceasing repetition of polite gestures. A micro-universe is created in 4 sets of 11 pieces of paper with hand drawn animated cycles.

Immersed- Soledad Aguila (Chile)

A mysterious portrait of the beauty in decaying of natural wild life.

It was good seeing some familiar faces and meeting new people! If you were there, what did you think? Or what do you think of these?

Making Business Not Failure Part 2: Proposals and Contracts

He's probably trying to sell her an explainer video. Business Proposals and Marriage Proposals have similarities. They are both an offer that will hopefully lead to a leap of faith in the form of a "yes" on the proposee's part. The proposer puts thought into the presentation and tries to emphasize the positive in order to influence a "yes." When saying yes to a marriage proposal, the target is trusting that you will be awesome to be married to and that you will not waste the life you are requesting. And in a project proposal, the target is trusting that you will be awesome at completing the project you are proposing and that you will not waste the money you're requesting. Before any money changes hands or work starts there needs to be a proposal at least. The proposal is like a contract, only it's more informal. I tend to use proposals, but if I were dealing with larger projects where my risk is greater I would use a contract. Contrac...
