**Tulips at Dawn** a film by Rosie Pedlow

2002, 3 min 24 sec

### technical

#### process summary

The film combines and manipulates archive footage, rostrum camerawork and 2D computer animation.

Diagrams of chemistry apparatus and educational film footage react and combine in this quirky interpretation of a poem by Nobel Laureate Chemist Roald Hoffmann.

The film is an experiment to illustrate how technology changes the way we represent the world, with results that prove ironic and inconclusive.
