A while ago an artist friend, Brian Piana took a masking tape piece I posted on Tumblr and turned it into a quick Gif animation. (I chose not to post the gif itself because it’s jarring on the same page as the Gif below.)

That, and some other artists I’ve seen on Tumblr playing with animation have made me want to learn about it. As such, I’ve been experimenting in my free time with some basic tests.

This is the most successful so far, made of 9 individual 4.5″ x 6″ cards of masking tape.

I still have a lot to learn to help myself automate and simplify the process so that basic animations look more smooth and don’t take an inordinate amount of time, but I have some ideas I’m slowly working out that I’ll share as they’re ready.

The idea is to create the animations, then bind the individual frames into their own books to get the experience of sequence in 2 different states.

Posted in Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags 1947, animation, cartoon, cats, classic, crazy cat lady, i dunno but i like it, japanese, morning, nyo, old, Saturday, weird on December 17, 2011 by ssstephg

In the mood for something cute and creepy and weirdly amusing? This Japanese cartoon from 1947 fits the bill nyo! PLease excuse me now. I’m off to dress my cats up in doll clothes and watch them play ring toss in all their bipedal splendor. Maybe i will even bottle feed them instead of making them struggle with their mini canteens nyo!

Saturday Morning Cartoons: Story Corps, No More Questions!

Posted in Art, Miscellaneous, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags animation, cartoon, family, grief, humor, love, mother's day, StoryCorps, sweet on May 7, 2011 by ssstephg

I love this animation! The dialog is from a Story Corps interview with 87 year old spitfire Kay Wang and her son and grand-daughter. Kay is none too happy about answering her family’s questions, but her answers are very entertaining. She passed away just weeks after the interview and her family returned to record some of their thoughts which are also included. It’s funny and very sweet.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: April Rains

Posted in Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags animation, April showers, dominos, double rainbow, fairy godmothers, Flippycat, nifty, stephg, Toni Tiller the problem fixer, video on April 23, 2011 by ssstephg

Oh look! It’s raining again today. Guess I’ll spend some time tidying my bedroom. Then maybe I’ll go do some work in my (*newly organized and now vastly spacious thanks to fellow d’Artbordian artist and magician Toni Tiller!) studio.

*One of us will have to post pics. Toni is amazing. She spent a day this week methodically plowing through my ridiculous mess and fitting it back together like a winning Tetris board. When we were through and everything was all put away there was so much open space I literally couldn’t believe it–enough room to do cartwheels or yoga or stage a light saber duel! I kept looking around expecting to find a giant pile of stuff in the adjacent room that we’d somehow moved and forgotten about. Miracle of miracles, that didn’t happen, and now my studio is perfect! Thank you so much Toni!

Saturday Morning Cartoons: Dolls vs Dictators in Queens

Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags animation, Art, Dolls vs Dictators, Martha Colburn, Museum of the Moving Picture, Queens, steph gerolimatos on April 16, 2011 by ssstephg

Dolls vs Dictators, a film by artist Martha Colburn, is on view at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, NY through May. I wasn’t familiar with her work until I read the interview with Colburn in Art In America this month. She makes short, intense animated films. After reading the description of her process which involves a combination of varied media such as painting, drawing, collage and found objects all captured on analog film and using a low-tech homemade animation stand, I wanted to see her work so I hit ye olde interwebz and Hatchah! wouldn’tcha know it? found her on Youtube. Here’s a clip from Dolls vs Dictators. It really IS intense, sort of an explosion of insanity which is really just a reflection of reality I suppose.

music by Deerhoof
film by martha colburn
film commissioned by Museum of Moving Image and funded by Greenwall Foundation.

to watch complete film with soundtrack by Greg Saunier- visit the Museum of Moving Image- QUEENS until April . 2011

Right so, go see it if you can.

I think Toni might appreciate this. Talk about ambitious paper slicing folk. Kinda makes me want to hone my scissor wielding skizzles.

Friday Night Music Video: OOIOO

Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags animation, i love me some yowling, music, OOIOO, video, YES! on February 4, 2011 by ssstephg

Sometimes music videos make me cringe and I have to turn them off before I end up with a very bad association that makes me hesitate to listen to the song anymore. Sometimes a music video makes me love a song even more. This one makes me do the loving thing. It makes me sooo happy! I especially love the little yowling masked figure in it!

Sincere Yowls,
