The Bellows March was at one time a pilot initiative between UMBC visual arts faculty Eric Dyer and the Imaging Research Center. The goal was develop a production pipeline that would successfully allow Dyer and his production assistants to build animated sculptures in 3D space with the goal of physically printing them by utilizing rapid prototyping technology. I partnered directly with Dyer to develop the specific techniques and overall production design. The goal was to produce one of these kinetic sculptures or “cinetropes” as a proof of concept. The clip here showcases an excerpt from his finished film, The Bellows March, that include animation that I designed. I also developed the unique character rigging for the interesting concertina character central to the film. Additional information can be found here.
