INSIDE 'SOUL TOWN
Inside 'SoulTown' - a stop motion animation in response to Gil Scott Heron's 'Your Soul And Mine'.
This piece is a work in progress mixed media animation exploring the theme of systematic racism in 60s black America.
The work was created using a mixture of analog and digital processes, combined together in After Effects. The animations are mainly constructed through printing found footage frames to manipulate then scan back into moving image.
