Driver / Predator
Digital Animation. 11:17 minutes. 2016
Driver / Predator is a multifaceted experimental animation inspired by a weekly, three-hundred mile commute which tells a meandering story of a character suspended between spaces, immersed in reflection and dreams of travel, work, war and isolation. Amid his travels he is visited by a menacing predator, the product of his own creation. Made from thousands of photographs and videos taken en route, and combining various animating techniques, including cutout, rotoscoping, stop-motion, time-lapse and 3D digital animation, this work reflects on issues of virtuality, dislocation, fear, self-destruction and the difficulty of defining oneself in a technologically saturated culture.
