A Life in Post-its

There's a special type of creativity that makes art from the mundane. I love this animated stop-motion video, Deadline, by Bang-yao Liu. It was his senior project at Savannah College of Art and Design. Liu says: "where my idea comes from is that every time when I am busy, I feel not that I am fighting with my work,...I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadlines."

The second video is about the making of Deadline.

Directed by Bang-yao Liu

Actor: Chun-yao Huang




The Making of 'Deadline'

I saw Deadline yesterday but hadn't seen the 'making of'. Fascinating concept, I love to see the work that goes into such a video.

Oh that is such fun! Thanks for posting that! There is something very nostalgic about the coloured squares - it reminds me of those plastic pattern boards that were around when I was a kid. Makes it somehow very comforting, while at the same time modern in it's reference to pixels.
