So I've been working on The Little Match Girl Passion again this week. In this live-animation I'm making for it I'm trying to create a world that is three-dimensional but made up of 2-D flat layers - drawn animations projected onto paper screens, paper cut-out shadow puppets, and here is the city for example, buildings drawn onto corrugated card and laid out in parallel formations . . .
when the match girl has her visions, however - when she strikes a match to keep warm and beautiful things reveal themselves in its glow - I wanted to make these in a different way, and I thought it would be somehow extra-real in this 2-D environment if everything in the visions was an actual three-dimensional object, like this dining room table at Christmas. The white plate behind the cake in this picture is empty because its where the goose was, but in her vision the goose jumps up and runs away.
Here is a video where I show you some of these scenes I've built this week, and a couple of the puppets that live in those worlds . . .
