My animation of Die Krähe, a song
from Franz Schubert's Wintreisse cycle.Unlucky
in love, a man wanders in a winter landscape, followed by a hungry
crow. Faithful to the grave. But this one has an ending more
Sopranos than Schubert.
Most of this movie was drawn on individual
frames in charcoal on gray paper and watercolor crayons on mylar,
8½ x 11 inches, which I scanned into my computer. But
the final culvert scene was painted and drawn in pastel pencils
and acrylic on a 30 x 40 inch canvas, on which I then painted
Culvert.
Each frame was drawn, shot with a digital camera, and erased.
Many many thanks to Matt Tatus, tenor, and
Bob Boury, piano, who performed and recorded the Schubert song
for me at UALR. Ian and Leif, look out!
