Orbit is a short film and installation about the relationship between humanity and the sun. The interactive installation was presented at WORM UBIK in Rotterdam in April 2018 and the short film is currently in the works. Here you can see a documentation video of the installation, and one for the exhibition as a whole (more pictures and info about the show, for which Tess was project leader, here).

I enjoy using different techniques that have a hand-made root or sensibility. In this reel you can see paper cut-outs, painted plastic cut-outs, photo cut-outs, sand animation, paint on glass, marker on glass, ink on glass, strata stencil, mural animation/pixilation, object animation, live-action puppetry, wire animation, large scale time lapse and snow animation.

The clips come from personal and commercial projects from 2012 to 2017. More info on commissioned work can be found here.

Based on Percy Shelley’s poem “The Dirge”, Ginevra depicts the aftermath of the murder of a young woman. As her distraught mother looks on, she learns that life after death involves a transition she never could have imagined.

Backstory:

This short film is based on a poem called ‘The Dirge’ by Percy Shelley (not to be confused with another Shelley poem called A Dirge). Max Rothman at Monticello Park Productions brought this project to animation filmmaker Tess Martin. Upon further research Tess discovered that The Dirge is actually part of a longer, unfinished poem called Ginevra (read the full poem here).

In the book The Poems of Shelley: Volume Four 1820-1821 by Michael Rossington, Jack Donovan and Kelvin Everest, the authors speculate that the poem might have been inspired by a supposedly true story contained in a book that his wife Mary was reading at the time. The story is that of Ginevra degli Almieri, a Renaissance-era urban legend about a woman who was thought dead of a plague that swept the city of Florence in the year 1400, and was put in a vault to be buried the next day. But she then awakens and is mistaken for a ghost by both her husband and her parents. Unfortunately, Percy Shelley himself died an untimely death in 1822, and was not able to finish this poem. His wife Mary published just the last segment under the title ‘The Dirge’, as well as the rest of the unfinished poem under the title ‘Ginevra’, in 1824 after Percy’s death.

The animated film incorporates inspiration from the Ginevra backstory, as well as direct inspiration from the poem itself. It is created using primarily cream-colored paper cut-outs on a multi-plane animation stand, with lots of lights and colored filters.

#GIFsmetHarry is a series of animated GIFs each based on a Dutch saying or expression and the scene in Harry Potter in which it occurs. The loops attempt to represent both the literal and intended meaning of the expression, as well as the scene in Harry Potter in which the saying appears, with surreal and humorous results. Representing the sayings in this way helps me to remember them as I read Harry Potter to learn Dutch. The scenes are created with paper on a multi-plane animation stand in my studio in Rotterdam.

Watch the behind the scenes video here: vimeo.com/246661365

More background info on the expressions and more making-of photos can be found on my Instagram account (@TessMartinArt) by searching the #GIFsmetHarry hashtag.

A starry night, tracks in the snow. A girl desperately pursues a creature into a desolate, surreal, white landscape.
This music video for the Australian band The Animators was created with painted plastic cut-outs and tissue paper and animated one frame at a time on a multi-plane animation stand.

A fisherman experiences a moment of connection with a female humpback whale in the waters off of San Francisco. Is this an example of inter-species communication or a mysterious fluke? This true story is retold in paint on a 16 foot high wall with the help of the passing public in Seattle’s Cal Anderson Park. Here you can see the film as well as a time-lapse of the film’s production.
