Sam Gainsborough Debuts ‘Facing It’ Film
about 53 months ago (12/23/2019)
Sam Gainsborough's film "Facing It" cleverly combines live-action actors and mixed-media stop motion. With heads made from plasticine, the artist told Directors Notes that he "shot the film in live action and pixelation and then separately shot the character’s faces in the studio against a green-screen, almost rotoscoping the footage we had already shot." This required Gainsborough to match the faces to the actors frame by frame.
