Snow is particularly joyful in how it transforms everything it covers. The brightness of its white forces the iris in your eye to shut way down and suddenly everything that isnt snow is in silhouette or defined by shadow. The world becomes a high contrast graphic representation of itself. This distillation of form allowed me to focus on painting pure motion in relation to the winter landscape.
This film was made for The New York Times, for my “Op-Art” column The Animated Life. It is composed of aproximately 2,250 watercolor paintings on paper. It is also a kind of winter companion to "L'eau Life," although here the water is frozen and therefore much easier to paint, because painting snow mostly means leaving the paper white.
The music is by Shay Lynch and wonderfully captures the endless cascade of the montage while giving the film a kind of emotional elegance in spite of it's vaudevillian pratfalls.
