Requiem for Romance Trailer (English version)
A modern-day couple’s secret love affair comes to a bittersweet end during an evening phone call. Cell phone static creates distance between them as they anguish over details of their relationship. But the visuals of the film reveal something entirely different: the epic re-imagining of their relationship set in feudal China, where family influence, cultural pressures and their lust for adventure makes more sense. Coming this spring, love goes to war over art.

Photos from my Artist Residency at Charles Street Video
These are photos of me working creating the ink wash footage. I worked on the Red camera, filming time-lapse footage of ink and water on different types of paper. I had to be very inventive to use indirect drawing techniques so as to not get my hands or brushes in the frame.
I brought a wide range of different kinds of paper. Some were really smooth, which worked well for the sky and fire elements. Some were really toothy which tended to work better for the architecture and forest scenes in the film.
I would alternate between shooting ink footage with the Red camera and working on the character animation on my Cintiq.
What a great blog
Thank you so much Aubrey!
Amazing!!
man i love the colours….i can get lost in that world for hours with its movement its wind..
Love the concept. Great use of flowing colors in the background and character movement in the foreground.
Ton travail est remarquable, à mon humble avis, non seulement par la (les) technique(s) utilisée(s), mais également par la manière dont tu as illustré cette histoire… cet appel téléphonique, et qui peut s’appliquer non seulement à ce court espace-temps, mais également à des relations plus longues. Cette histoire montre ta sensibilité et une magnifique façon de la rendre palpable et de la concrétiser, … la figurer. Magnifique méthaphore. Félicitations et merci.
Honestly your art work is terrible.
Well, I guess it’s not for everyone :S
