As part of a course in experimental animation it seems necessary to experiment on the materials. If at list with ideas of the possibilities in producing images that can be arranged in sequence and therefore animated. Possibilities, rumors....
In absence to bring good images or some directly related to the following idea for an animation I'll rely more on words to describe it.
Rather than building upon the seen, why not build with the unseen. The absence of light is not transparency but shadows, in spanish sombras.
A few researched examples of shadow animation point to it as that of silhouetted puppets.
The proposed idea differs in planning to use degrees of darkness in conjunction with silhouettes that exist within it. To illustrate this "anti-vision" I'll refer to what inspired it, a walk to the bus stop after a school day, crossing a field where the shadows overlap and hardly any light reflects in any object. Nonetheless the surface of the field creates illusory depths that suggest forms and shapes that do not correspond to what is really there. The degrees of darkness and the movement of the viewer composing the shapes and setting them in motion.
At this point all this entry does is announce the target of a visual research into empty imagery.
