Description

This is the second collaboration piece by Mumbleboy and flintpope. The first one "KNEE CLICKER" was mostly me providing some material and flintpope making the work and this piece is the opposite of that as flintpope gave me many pieces of material to work with and I made the work. The material flintpope sent were not finished pieces, but bits and pieces he used or didn't use, but it also included raw material which he worked from and was more photographic than the pixellated image of his work. These were mostly human figures. Rather than working digitally from the start, I printed out these figures and made collages and painted on them and then brought them back into the digital realm to make collages. I made 3 of these collages which I dismantled into pieces and then brought them into Adobe Animate where I put them together to make moving figures against the collage background. I sort of made it into the flintpope style of having squares against the black background. I sort of zoomed in each piece and then removed them from their background afterwards. I'm sure I could explore this much more, but it was getting to be quite long, like 3 times as long as what I normally make. Then there was the matter of the soundtrack. I asked flinpope what sort of music he liked and then the surprise answer was that he preferred animation without music or sounds, but he was kind and told me I could do what I like anyway and he told me some of the music he liked to listen to. These were very interesting musicians he named and I went and listened to them and was really inspired to make the soundtrack. I think he liked rhythmical, abstract and minimal and I did my best to make the soundtrack on Suno. I'm still learning how to use it and it's quite difficult to control the outcome by text alone. The soundtrack here is the best one that came out of that process. It might be a bit too progressive like, but it has grown on me. 1080 × 1080 px 30 FPS 00:37 Animation made in Adobe Animate Soundtrack made in Suno
