Another example of mixing rotoscoping and live-action, especially as it relates to daydreaming.

Hitchcock loves Bikinis » the Kuleshov Effect

with one comment

I wrote an article in Verso (YSDN Design Annual) last year about how juxtaposing two images, or an image with text can create different meanings. Our brains work hard to make sense of what we read, hear and watch so designers and film makers have to be very careful with the placement of various elements on a page, or within a timeline. This short interview with Hitchcock likewise talks about how juxtaposing pieces of film together can create different situations based on our brains need to link them together. We can’t really see the girl in the bikini and a close-up of Hitchcock’s face as two separate and disconnected pieces of film, because our brains reason that tey were placed together for a reason, so they must be connected. This leads us to imagine Hitchcock as a “dirty old man”.
