Reviews for "(notes on) biology"
I am so glad I did not pass this one up.
Perfect Movie! Good job guys!
Awesome short film
What a masterpiece man! :D Love how the lecture just fades away and makes way for this creative mash-up... and though I've only seen this a few times now I can't spot any recycled pages either... are all these notebook pages unique? Are they actual notebook pages or is all text also part of the project? It'd make for an insane amount of Easter Eggs if it is!! And even if not, you can pause at any one moment and take part of whatever facts/trivia/randomly entertaining mumbjo jumbo is scribbled on the pages that pass. Seems like an intense amount of effort put into this. I love the transitions between live footage and stopmotion, how the hand appears to flip the pages when things start going in 'slow motion' just before the fall, the sounds, the music, the subtle comedy and lack of personaly identifiable faces that somehow makes it even easier to live into the production. Feels like this piece is still severely underrated here on NG right now, but hopefully it'll get the credit it's due with time! Fantastic work!

Thanks for the kind words, CD. We didn't cycle any of the pages. It is about 2000 individual pages. The animation was done first, then we had note taking parties where all the neighborhood teenagers would come over to hang out, listen to music, and take page after page of notes. Lots of song lyrics, inside jokes and a bunch of creative writing. So, you're right, lots of Easter eggs.
