Amsel, animated!

It's been a while since I've done my last filmed interview, as the past two months I've been focusing on the soft launch of the Indiegogo campaign (more on that later), and going through the newly acquired collection of transparencies of Amsel's artwork.


As for more interviews, I have two scheduled for the week after Xmas, and am planning another two-week trip back to the east coast in early March -- made possible by our Indiegogo and Fractured Atlas campaigns. (Every dollar helps, and the support I've received thus far means the world to me.) There will be a lot of people in NYC I'll be talking to, but I'll still likely have to make a third trip out there later in the year.


Another fun new development is that I've been collaborating with some talented people on a series of motion graphics for the film. It gives a fun spin on Amsel's artwork, and I'm indebted to Kevin Burke's work on 24x36 for the inspiration. I made the five animations you see here -- for RAIDERS, A STAR IS BORN, THE DARK CRYSTAL, THE STING, and THE SHOOTIST -- but much more complex work is going to be done in the future.
