Re-Inspiration

I discovered this film while looking for sound track composers (ticktockrobot are heroes of mine for their extraordinary animation but also finding the right sound).

Although I've had a longstanding draw to Graham Carter's art, I hadn't seen his creations animated.  Me, Marionette was released to accompany his show in May, to me it is perfect warmth for a cold Autumn night.

So much so the visuals (and Richard Spiller's soundtrack) re-inspired me to open up this blog during a period of "write don't talk."

Animation of the Planets doing their Equinox Thing

The bulbs are coming through. We're wearing less layers than three weeks ago and in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere ... the sun's out. I hope you've managed to get out in the sunshine and, even if you live in a city, you've seen some evidence of nature waking up. Here's an extraordinary animation of what has actually been going on up there this month.
