Leopold Survage

Leopold Survage was one of the first artists to theorize and design a work of abstract animation. Due to WWI none of his ideas were brought to fruition until recently. Here is a letter that Survage wrote explaining his ideas.

"Color, Movement, Rhythm
     Painting, having liberated itself from the conventional forms of objects in the exterior world, has conquered the terrain of abstract forms.  It must get rid of its last and principal shackle - immobility - so as to become as supple and rich a means of expressing our emotions as music is.  Everything that is accessible to us has its duration in time, which finds its strongest manifestation in rhythm, action, and movement, real, arranged and unarranged.
     I will animate my painting, I will give it movement.  I will introduce rhythm into the concrete action of my abstract painting, born of my interior life; my instrument will be the cinematographic film, this true symbol of accumulated movement.  It will execute the "scores" of my visions, corresponding to my state of mind in its successive phases.
     I am creating a new visual art in time, that of colored rhythm and of rhythmic color."
                                                                                                             Paris, 1914
                                                                                                           -Leopold Survage

Inspiring

Inspiration kicks in again as I attempt to keep this blog active. I've now embedded this feed on my website, ( www.EvanTedlock.com) and will now use this solely as an inspiration tank.  Feel free to share your inspirations in the comments below.

I come bearing works

It's been a strange, confusing, complicated past few months. Regardless, here's some stuff...

Beck's Beginning: Tron Uprising - Disney XD

Normally I am pretty adamantly against anything that Disney puts on television but this show looks amazing!

A Nickelodeon pitch.  I hope this gets picked up!!

'Swealter' by Jacob Streilein

'Blast Off' by Rubber House

The timing, colors and limited style all come together quite nicely. Watch it on loop a few times, it never gets old.

'Jericho' by Liam Gavin

This is a wonderful little short utilizing a giant puppet and some slick digital comp.  It starts off sad but ends with a great jolt of inspiration. Bravo!

Low Brow No Brow

I'm having an art show!!

If you live around the Kansas City Area you should definitely consider attending this event. It's not going to be your regular 'run of the mill' art show. It's free and open to the public with tasty snacks, delicious Arnold Palmers, art work, animation, and music. Bring your friends and support the local arts!!

Yet another film I cannot wait to see!

Beauty is Embarrassing - A documentary on Wayne White

This looks AMAZING!!

Rome - 'Two Against One'

A beautiful composition of abstract story telling.

Hooray for Earth - "True Loves" (Cereal Spiller remix) video by Cyriak

I love this band and I love this animation artist! What could be better?

Dick Laurent is Dead - 'Colour in Your Hands' ft. FINK

I absolutely love it when a music video separates the video from the music in order to drive a story. The cinematography and aesthetic are astoundingly beautiful.
