Simon Edmondson Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Great find Robert. I had a look at some of their other work, did you see this one ? http://vimeo.com/58981375 Not sure of the narrative thread but, visually impressive and very high level of animation. regards simon Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Posted March 23, 2013 No, I haven't seen much of Blaise Pascal Studio. They must have a very diverse stable of artists. It seems they are also producers of Petrov's "Old Man and the Sea" which won the Oscar for Short in '99, which I had forgotten all about. The Old Man and the Sea I first saw that painting on glass technique technique in the 90's at a festival and the speaker rather represented it as an obsolete technique left over from Soviet film subsidy days. Disney did paintings on glass for their multiplane camera but those were just background layers. Quote

Disney did paintings on glass for their multiplane camera but those were just background layers. Robert Theres a UK animator ( unfortunately forgotten his name for the moment but, will find out ) who lives on the isle of Anglesy. He specialises in painting on glass. He started as an engineer and built his own multi plane camera setup. He makes animated shorts which were successful on the festival circuit in the 90's they are very Art oriented and he often works in collaboration with musicians to evolve the sound as he works on the images. Its a while since I've seen them but, I think Yuri Norstein used to produce animations on glass during the soviet era. The local animation course here occasionally produce them. A woman doing the MA program last year, made one set in a landscape, although her's was monochrome, which allowed for a much looser,'painterly' feel. regards simon Ps Haven't found the one I mentioned but did find this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW9lmEFqwLY Part of the animated Shakespeare series that the BBC did Quote
John Bigboote Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I worked with an animator, Martina Coffey who did some wax on glass animation... being backlit the light keeps the wax pliable and she moved it about with popsicle sticks, very tedious. The backlite also serves to fill all the various colored waxes as you shoot. The comedian Martin Mull was known to use this technique to do illustrations, I heard. Quote
*A:M User* Roger Posted March 24, 2013 *A:M User* Posted March 24, 2013 Paint on glass is gorgeous, but I can't imagine how long it would take to do a film with that technique. Almost, but not quite, as bad as pinscreen. I would lose my mind trying to animate using pinscreen. Quote

Simon Edmondson Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Tale of Tales Alexander Petrov - Making of... (oil on glass animation) Followed up Serg's links to the Petrov animayions on the making of movies. Unfortunately my language skills let me down but, I did find this, which is another Petrov short done with the same technique. regards simon Quote
Simon Edmondson Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 The animator whose name I couldn't remember was, Clive Walley. These are two of his pieces, both appear to have been recorded at a live screening so the quality is not high. They are very abstract and possibly best watched without sound as there is a lot of audience noise. regards simon Quote
