Cinematic smorgasbord! Multi talented artist Josh Funk spent a year putting together this almost painfully fun and quite beautiful film. It is a very impressive first-time run at animation. If Tim Burton, Mr. Bill, David Lynch, Freddy Mercury and the Phantom of the Opera all got together…. this would be their love child. Read on to hear from Josh about the production.
“Wormholes started out as an experiment in Stop Motion and storytelling. I had always wanted to create a stop motion film but never knew how to start. I stumbled upon Dragonframe software, saw the online videos and realized all my crazy visions could actually come to life with Dragonframe. If you watch Wormholes you will see that the animation gets better as I go along because I was animating each shot in chronological order as I learned how to animate. It took me about a year to complete and I would only come up with two scenes at a time; the scene I was animating and the scene it would run into. I used a Nikon D5100, a tripod, borrowed a dolly from a friend, and spent a lot of money on discounted Halloween and party lights. For certain shots I even put my camera on a skateboard and slowly moved it along.”
