I know that image doesn't do much for me either - but you have to see this in motion - it's hot...
Animated Life: Paper View
In celebration of the Fourth of July, artist Jeff Scher created a confetti of fireworks. Music composed by Shay Lynch.
“Paper View” was a film I’d wanted to make for a long time, and July 4th provided me with the perfect excuse. Fireworks are very cinematic. They’re a time-based light show with synchronous sound, just like a movie. In fact, fireworks might be the most popular abstract art ever.
All the paper dots, dashes and slashes were cut from paint sample chips. The actual animation took about a week of long days and nights. Each frame required moving all the cut paper in tiny, even increments. The hardest part was remembering which dot I’d moved and which dot I hadn’t.
Shay Lynch wrote the music as I was shooting the film, with each of us sending our completed sections to the other as we went. He also added the sound effects of the explosions and hissing rockets that really make the illusion complete.
