Thomas Jefferson : Declaration of Independence,(July 4, 1776)

This is a little thing I made up, hope you like it!!

Only a few little animation changes have been made from the original. Now in full colour.

Experimental animation made with engraving on film 16mm. The subject is the duality of the word “passenger”, one time meaning “voyageur” other time meaning “transitory”.

A little feather pen wants to join in the fight against the British. A sword laughs at him and belittles him. He turns out to be Jefferson‘s pen - the pen that set a country free. The pen is mightier than the sword.

Epic words for Human Rights by Thomas Jefferson and my interpretation in 30 seconds

It is a collective and experimental animation that contains eighteen sequences created by eighteen filmmakers whose only piece of information was the last sequence produced by the previous filmmaker.

This Piece explores what it is to be human. Are some more equal than others. The robotic character also symbolizes the manufactured conformity of 21st century living.

This is a rough idea as to having a portrait of Thomas Jefferson talking while slowly drifting in the water while you see reflections of clouds and the History channel logo in the water.
