LUIS

Stop motion animation: the beating heart of the visceral media world. This film technique is not for everyone, and certainly not for the faint of heart as every single frame in a 24 frames per second motion picture has to be planned and arranged - by hand. Being a stop-motion film artist almost ensures you will be totally neurotic, or at least a little 'abstract' with thoughts, which is probably why much of the material that exists in this medium orbits in the cold outer ellipticals of social consciousness. Luis is a beautiful film that captures that secret dark nightmarish place we forget exists as adults, but that flourishes in children. Perhaps it will wake you up to some feelings you forgot about over the whitewashed banality of adult life. It did for me.
