The new stop motion animation from Montreal based artist collective En Masse, explores the intersection of sculpture, painting, and film in the new stop animation short.
The black-and-white murals from the Montreal-based collaborative En Masse look like notebook doodles made extravagant. Their latest project, EN MASSE x VISAGE, sees the melding of artists working across a variety of mediums to harmonize artistically right in front of your eyes like a barbershop quartet.The self described, “highly spontaneous, multi-artist collaborative” was captured through in jittery stop-motion animation by filmmakers Salman Sajun and Brian Tornay. Painters from the crew create a series of patterns on top of a large sculpture of a human face. The resulting video animates their crisp, street art-infused graphics with a beautiful yet chaotic synchronicity.

Salman Sajun shared with The Creators Project some behind-the-scenes images of the shoot, which you can check out below:Images courtesy of Salman Sajun.
