From one end of each version to the other, the same almost continuous line slips and winds towards the horizon.
First version: the course of the line is punctuated by various plays of light or short passages of drawn elements.
Second version: along the line, here a little bit longer, various extracts of old animated sequences appear, sometimes in a slightly modified aspect. I leave it to the courageous visitor to identify these sequences among all those presented on the site.
All the drawn elements appearing in the first version of the animated sequence, with different scales, colors or view angles :
Five drawn lines merge with actual shootings of sea foam curves.
The colored lines in the animated sequence, here superimposed:
and three snapshots from what their fusion with the foam images looks like:
The sequence marks the return to pure drawing, here very colourful.
Each of the three movements is derived from a single numerical composition that appears at least once in its entirety; elsewhere in the movement, the various graphic elements appear in changing colours, with a sharp or sometimes blurred definition, in still or moving position, seen from the front or from various angles of perspective.
Various snapshots from the animated sequence.
First movement:
Second movement:
Third movement:
Another nebulous sequence with, as often, different elements drawn or shot on the fly, such as this photo of a Mediterranean sky where, in a weird way, some clouds undulate like the water they overhang:
On a background of real aquatic surfaces, the compositions presented in the "clouds" section appear and disappear throughout the four movements of the sequence.
Pictures of clouds and airplane trails in the Parisian sky:
... and the compositions obtained by superimposing various graphic elements:
Plane trails in the Paris sky, boat wakes in the Arcachon basin or the Mediterranean sea, pure drawn elements ... and sometimes the passage of a bird not really desired, but difficult to erase from the original video.
