Allison Schulnik's Hand-Drawn Animated Short 'Moth'
Allison Schulnik, an American artist known for drawing, painting, and ceramic sculpture, has released a new hand-drawn animated short film titled 'Moth.' The film was inspired by a moth hitting her studio window about a year ago. She spent an entire year obsessively drawing the insect in various forms, creating hundreds of hand-drawn frames assembled without digital effects. The moth's flight becomes a dance, and its wingbeats a metaphor for rebirth. The soundtrack features a rendition of Erik Satie's 'Gnossienne 1' by musician Nedelle Torrisi.
