The Language of the Heart
To lend the project a humanistic look and feel, I made the decision to hand-paint each animated frame with acrylic paint. on mylar.
The project was animated at 6 frames per second to ensure that the eye has the chance to register the small details making each painted frame unique. Brush strokes breathe with life, an effect achievable only with the effort of hand-painting
