DYNAMIC FIGURES
Around 1980 I began to create a series of avant-garde short films in collaboration with my friends. We created animated dance movies using the technique called pixilation (people animation). With the figures moving in mysterious ways in the landscape, the effect is hauntingly beautiful. One of these films, MIRAGE, can be viewed on the EARLY FILMS movie page. During the filming process I also shot still photos. Here are some examples. Pictured are lead performers Mark Daniel, Diana Lim, Ben Averill, Cheryl Kapell, Erica Fletcher, and June Monteforte.
