Extract of an experimental 360 Virtual Reality animated scene made after one of my drawings during training sessions at the QUAD, Derby in 2018-2019. I imported some drawings and GIFs into the Unity software to create the scenery. In the sound track I share some thoughts about "the woman in the river" and how I came to draw her.            Filmed view of the VR animated scene - extract - 1 min 32 Voice over recording - 3min53

For better viewing : click on the video to see it full size As I am slowly exploring possibilities of animating my drawings, I am finding that I want to stay away from technology and try more basic ways to animate them. I am being very interested in the idea of letting the author of the drawings appear withing the animation, bringing an added intimate and autobiographical quality to the work.
