Project / Wildcard V.A.F. 2008 / From Science Into Fiction - 2012

From Science Into Fiction (2012) is the new documentary from Bram Conjaerts (°1982, Hasselt). The movie is made through funding he got from the V.A.F. when he won the wildcard (2008) with his graduate project: Henri et les îles.
My role is to sequence two parts of the movie in drawings.

The project consists of a series of drawings, a big one (150cmx150cm) and a second series of 14 drawings (A3), all done in charcoal.

Instead of making it an animation, the camera will move over the drawing in a spiral motion that will suggest the journey the narrative describes. The concept behind the drawing is a fast travel through the history of Man and Earth, with the conclusion of a comet as the destruction of life.

The project -for my part- is near complete, but filming and editing still has to be done. This project is what I have been doing (on and off) for the last 3 months. For now I can only show some pieces of the puzzle, the complete filmed sequences and drawings in detail will be put online as soon as possible.

More info and images soon.
