Em Cooper's Animation Showreel 2011

http://www.emcooper.com/
This is Emily Cooper's animation showreel 2011. It includes clips from my Royal College of Art graduation films and other freelance animation work. My films combine oil paint on glass animation with live action film and are often inspired by ideas from psychoanalysis.

Very beautiful and inspiring.

I am curious, do you start with a painting and take a snapshot, then add more paint and snap again, over and over until you have your animation ? Which computer program do you ue to put it all together ? Do you use effects from the computer as well as the oil paints ?

@PatAaron519 Hey, sorry for the shockingly delayed reply! Yes, I use oil-paint on glass and photograph it with a DSLR camera on a rostrum - as you imagine, painting, taking a shot from above, repainting, taking another shot - fairly time consuming! Sometimes I use a rotoscoping technique to move in and out of live action. For this showreel I have not used any computer effects, other than colour correction.
