Ginette Lapalme
1" by 1" animated drawings
Although not particularly complex in animation I chose these because of the textural and handcrafted quality. I'm not sure how they were made but I imagine that pencil, pen and gouache (?) was involved. The gifs work as a small collection of characters. I'm not sure what their intention is with these animations, but it fits well with Lapalme's creepy cute aesthetic.
On the other hand here is a very complex gif by Rebecca Mock. The amount of detail in both image and movement is very impressive. What I liked most about this though was the ominous choice of colour and lighting. The constant movement and tremors with no relief make the viewer feel uneasy.
"I was asked to create a .gif of a house interior during an earthquake. The article chronicles the controversial aftermath of the devastating quake that happened in L’Aquila, Italy in 2009. I wanted to capture the movement of the “tremors” before the full-on earthquake, although this tremor is infinite, never resolving."
