This project takes a little explaining cos it's a fucking multimedia art installation (how 90s am I?
) It started off in late September with me deciding I wanted to learn 3D modelling and animation using Blender (which is a headfuck to begin with). From there, I decided to do a Hallowe'en project and as I'm a total noob with Blender, I figured I'd try to keep the modelling / animation aspects to a minimum. So to flesh it out a bit and give me something to work around, I then wrote a short story (a little over 6000 words) in a sort of classical gothic horror vein and inserted that into the Blender animation, and to top it off, then tried to write a musical soundtrack to what is basically a dull video of a book. Yeah, it was kind of a stupid idea, but I did it anyway.So anyway, the video is here:
If you're finding the animated page turning too much of a nuisance interfering with reading the text, if you prefer you can just download the soundtrack from Bandcamp for owt or nowt: I've included a .pdf file of the story as bonus download material.
Anyway, there's basically three things for you to get stuck into: a short animation, a short story and a 23 minute soundtrack written in 4 days in the teeth of a looming self-imposed deadline. You might just enjoy one of them.
