Flip Book 2.0

VIDEOGIOCO by Donato Sansone from Enrico Ascoli - Sound Design on Vimeo.

Checkout this disturbing new approach to the common flip book. It's called VIDEOGIOCO by Donato Sansone from Enrico Ascoli Sound Design, and weird disembodied flying head antics aside, it a novel concept I have never thought of before. It is sort of a combination of stop motion cinematography, with more traditional illustrated animation, and maybe a bit of puppeteer action thrown in there for good measure. Oh, and maybe a flash of live action if you remember the brief real knife play.

Around 12 seconds in, you really see the full magnitude of the work that went into the illustration part of the project. Donato, or MILKYeyes as he refers to himself in the opening title, is totally surrounded by his creation. I wonder how he set up all the camera equipment, or even just moved around to flip the folds back and forth.

While I'm not sure this is a new genre, It's certainly is new to me, and it's nice to know that if you find yourself getting bored with what's out there, you can always redefine your media.
