"Stay in my memory" by bim

I rarely post on here cus I don't usually have the rights to things I work on!

However I thought I'd post this little gem that was made on a shoestring in spare-time by my good friend Katy Davis.

Katy has a fairly unique style of animation and its not here for crit as it had virtually no budget and there are many things (given the money/time) that could have been done differently but living and working in London is hard and expensive! Having said that the drawings are supposed to be childlike and the mix of media is also deliberate. In case you are wondering.

Shot on a Nikon DSLR and with composites of other stop-motion animations plus hand drawn cell animation with textures added in Photoshop and finally video and FX layers added and comped in AE.

I've been involved with this project since she started it and although the majority of the work is hers, I edited, graded and onlined with a few added FX in 720p in AE and FCP.
