Lock of Freedom from Leonie Connellan on Vimeo.
My sister is studying music at university in Darwin, and a few days ago she asked if I could send her some of my animations so she could work on soundtracking them for a class. So I went through my hard-drive and made a DVD for her. I’d kind of forgotten about this one, and watching it back I still quite like it. It was an exercise in rotoscoping, and was drawn from two separate video sources — one I took of myself and one where I’d grabbed segments of plants growing from nature documentaries. The music is Lock of Freedom by The Happies, which was freely available at the time and can now be purchased from CD Baby and iTunes.
