Wool and Gas.
July 23, 2010
Warmth is invisible. Director Olivier Babinet alongside Lovo Films and TBWA Brussels wanted to create a film that made warmth visible. This piece is for natural gas, and through the use of wool, Babinet wanted to create a story of motion that shows the gradual heating of a house in the morning through natural gas. The scenes are created by going backwards, the scenes are covered with sheets of knitted wool which are then pulled. A beautiful, warm and innovative concept, that is such a simple technique which creates a beautiful piece of stop motion. This film took a month to prepare, 4 days and nights to shoot and had an impressive crew of 40 strong. The entire piece is created via the beautiful technique of stop motion, and it took four cameras to capture this. An incredible piece of motion design, that definitely managed to do all it set out to do.
