Animation
Here are a variety of animations that I have created for various events.
Poet Guitar was created for Amp Up! at the American Swedish Institute for the exhibit of Sweden’s Hagstrom guitars. Each of the guitars has a back story that relates to the Hagstrom family history of their business or Swedish heritage folklore.
Lucky Bucket was created for MNKINO and was played at MinnAnimate organized by John Akre of Sloppy Films.
The premise was to use something simple and make a story out of it for MNKINO, a monthly international amateur filmmaker organization from our Twin City chapter. My husband suggested a bucket and quickly the story unfolded. Only lit with a candelabra he puppets were painted and filmed as the early morning winter light shone onto the dining room table. Within a weeks time the storyline and film was complete and a friend Lisa Sackreiter down the block rewrote the full story beautifully.
It was selected for the Twin Cities International Film Festival and shown during the festival.
It was also shown at the MN winter Ice Shanty village and was played inside one of the shanty’s on White Bear Lake.
Research Round Table was to be shown at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum for Nature Based Therapeutics directed by Dr. Jean M. Larson.
Migration is another short MNKINO film created with Karen Kopacz of Design for the Arts. Karen also created the Lucky Bucket process clip and the Indigo clip.
