(Apologies to our overseas friends for the late hour!)
It's an early salvo in what promises to be a years-long campaign to create animations for all of the poems from A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST. From rotoscoping to traditional 2D animation to claymation, the poems are brought to life by animators and narrators the world over!
We'll start with the PREMIER our latest animated poem, THIRST #125, followed by a deeper dive into the actual production of it -- to include sharing both the original storyboards and nuts-and-bolts of our basic process. With any luck, it might get fellow writers and presses dreaming bigger, and thinking further outside their promotions box when banging the drum for their own projects!
That will be followed by a handful of other animated drunk poems:
THIRST #3 - Tina LaTurner-McCreesh/Romana Vashtar (0:33)
THIRST #26 - Ben Tanzer/MusicAnimation (1:25)
THIRST #28 - Bastien Chiarini/stoniends (with music by the mighty Leeches of Lore!) (0:58)
THIRST #50 - Walevske Perez-Herrera/Tharinda Dharmasena (1:22)
THIRST #140 - Willy Vlautin/Mattia Adorni (1:45)
We'll close with a brief chat/Q&A.
