Serial Parallels

Animation / Stop Motion / Directed by Others / 2019

This experimental animation by Max Hattler approaches Hong Kong’s built environment from the conceptual perspective of celluloid film, by applying the technique of film animation to the photographic image. The city’s signature architecture of horizon-eclipsing housing estates is reimagined as parallel rows of film strips: Serial Parallels.

As a significant role in this project, I worked as an animator and photographer, contributed largely in this film.
