The Leaf Woman and the Centaur is a stop-motion animated film that looks to reconcile a set of creation myths and re- establish the act of experiencing the story as their central component. In the same way Paradise Lost articulated the felix culpa (beneficial fall of man) within the Biblical beginnings, or Dante's Inferno explored our ethical and spiritual scaffolding, The Leaf Woman and the Centaur will use the same basic tropes present in every creation myth to emphasize the value of an ancient experience that died with the cold logic of words.

This is the first episode.

Stills from Birds in Love

In the spirit of keeping up with my blog, and to get pumped about the next animation I'm starting serious production on today The Leaf Woman and the Centaur (3-5 minutes of stop motion animation of the first episode in a series of eight, wherein the leaf woman falls to Earth, creates all her animals friends, etc...) I'm going to post something completely off topic! Stills from my last animation, Birds in Love, created for the Sundance channel, but was never aired, ofcourse, that's how these things go. And now on with the day, where I attempt once again to be the best most productive and healthy non-neurotic human being I can be!
