### animate! synopsis

What goes around comes around – the daily cycle of home-work-home illuminated in collage, Hi-8 and paint. Layered and luminous with in-sight.

### long synopsis

An account of a journey from home to work as seen through the filter of the conscious and subconscious mind.
Through the use of moving collages and painterly animation laid over Hi-8 footage, the viewer is able to share the traveller’s experiences and his mental reactions to the trials and triviality of urban existence.
