Amazing.
Using a knitting machine to create the templates for this animation is incredibly insightful ... did you use a computer to design the sequence for the machine to follow?
Anyway, first rate visual art!
We actually shot our characters on green screen to start with. Then we edited, keyed and composited in AE to add the other elements like snow and stadium. We then outputed 723 jpeg of the clip to our knitter that used them as templates for the knits. The knitting technique is actually called in french "Tricot machine", hence the band's name!
Cheers

LOVED this!
We are actually trying to do something with all the knits that are just sitting in boxes in our stock room for now.
We have talked of making bags and shirts possibly out of them. Perhaps you can visit our website in a few weeks, we should have posted an add by then, or write to us.
Cheers
David
I like it, a very solid indie vibe. Original, poignant, and touching.
All my respects.
If finally you make something with the knits, tell us.
;)
Reminds me of the album cover to "The Point".
I especially like the mixed media approach to animation - it makes me think that all animations should start life as something physical in the real world.
Very impressive

The exploration of repetition and copying was literally undertaken by the maker (Virgil Widrich) in the process of making this film: The film was shot with digital tape and then transferred onto a computer. Each frame of the film was then printed out using a black and white laser photocopier. Those photocopies were then animated and re-shot with a 35mm camera.
“Thus video becomes paper, paper becomes film and the story of ‘Copy Shop’ is brought to life again ‘copy by copy’ ”
The concept right through to the execution here is so inspired. The relationship between the visuals & music is beautiful, and I honestly didn't want it to end. It was a comfy world to be in!
Watching this definitely felt like the warm blanket that I need on those chilly Canadian nights. I'm sure that a live performance would feel similar, so I've noted the band name with a purpose.
Thanks for sharing!
Un beau cadeau, Merci !!!
