“Gorge” by Thomas Knowler
July 19, 2011 3:30 am
When an all-consuming city overwhelms you, remember music can set you free… Thomas Knowler’s post-grad thesis project for the School of Visual Arts, NYC has a Gahan Wilson meets Mobieus vibe. And I like it. Since Gorge, Knowler has been working on a series of animated-illustrations for JG Ballard’s The Drowned World. Knowler says, “I think it’s evident that as technology provides more areas for animation to be displayed; illustrated books could well take advantage of using short animations as a form of illustration. You can find two I have completed (in serious detail) here (Part 1) and here (Part 2).”

BOING
It’s Moebius.
Nice stuff. I enjoyed it.
Beautiful.
It’s less like Mobius and more like Peter Foldès’ HUNGER, the 1973 short which featured cg inbetweens:

The dance evokes a similar scene in YONGARY, MONSTER FROM THE DEEP, in which a giant dinosaur dances to music playing on the transistor radio of a small boy
Reminds me of Bruce Bickford’s style of movement and morph/decay actions.
Love the style of this
Thanks everyone!
i found the soundtrack to be overly bombastic
Loved the score … really added an ominous and creepy feel to this creepy short. Really liked this one!
