Sensology

While writing my dissertation i came across this painfully beautiful video.
Looking at the different areas I have been exploring, I would define this video as a subjective, artistic translation of music into visuals.
This video is showing, to my opinion, how the sound would look like, if we could actually see it. The film is made so well which makes it easy to get 'sucked' into it!



Many animation techniques were used and experimented in this film.
Sensology is a short animated film by Michel Gagné that visualises in abstract form, an improvised musical session by two leaders of the avant-guarde jazz movement, Paul Plimley (piano) and Barry Guy (bass). Gagné started working on the film in August 2006 and finished it in July 2010. The whole film was hand drawn (painted) with a Wacon tablet at first, and later, a Cintiq, using Adobe Photoshop. The drawings and frames were then composited and manipulated in a 2D software called Animo. There is no vector animation at any point in the film.

Hope you'd like it as much as I did.
