Searching for a b&w short film posted to the blue

July 13, 2012 4:15 PM

I'm looking for a short film posted on the blue sometime in the last 3 years featuring light projections and miniatures.

It was a short film, high contrast black and white. The design was vaguely reminiscent of German Expressionism. The main thing I remember about it is it featured animated light projected on real environments that appeared to be miniatures. For example, there might be shot of a living room and the fire burning in the fireplace was animated light being projected onto the scene. Anyone else remember this?

Was it something from "The Bug Trainer" or perhaps from "Ich bin im Tod erblüht"? Or, from the green, "Help me remember a stop-motion animated music video"? Sounds like what I've seen posted here about the Quay brothers' work.

It wasn't the Brothers Quay or Svankmeyer. It wasn't that obviously stop motion and also looked like it was made quite recently.

I remember this. Was it like a pop-up book with sets that could be changed, and video was projected onto it?

Here's the post I'm talking about: magic by grumblebee. Leading to this video of "The Ice Book".
