Amazing street art animation by Blu
ArtMy apologies for the lack of content over the past 2 weeks — it’s been a bit crazy in my world, between work and moving into my new apartment. For about a week there I had to hunch over a makeshift desk that was one-foot off the ground, which effectively killed all blog-inspiration.
But thanks to “Muto,” a time-lapse street art animation by Italian artist Blu, I’m compelled to write again (plus, I have a 3-foot-tall desk now. That’s another two feet of inspiration).
The animation was painted onto walls in Buenos Aires, videotaped and edited to run like a flip-book of images. Awesome use of space and incorporation of environmental elements. I can’t imagine how much time this project must have taken, especially considering it’s about six and a half minutes long. The art itself isn’t that complicated, but considering how many different images Blu had to paint to make the animation run smoothly, it’s really impressive.
Of course, I have to give credit to Sibe who assisted Blu, as well as Andrea Martignoni and Mercurio Film who did the music and production, respectively.
Addendum: I also need to give credit to my friend Carly who shared the video with me in the first place. Here’s her website www.carlyheims.com. Hire her.
