Starry Night

This is a computer generated animation I made that simulates Vincent Van Gogh's 1889 painting, Starry Night. The houses were created by using a three dimensional modeling and animation program, while the mountains, bushes, stars, lights and tiny little brush strokes on the roofs were all hand painted using a 2D editing program. All of the many parts were then put together like a giant puzzle in an editing program and made into a movie. In this animation you are offered two ways of looking at the work. In the first half you will be going in sequential time, in the order that it was created, in the second half it will be played backwards with Van Gogh's original appearing underneath. So, when you see the first credits (which is in the middle of the animation), it's not over, it is just a sign that we will be going backwards! The Starry Night painting has been in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City since 1941. In today's world of computers and rapidly emerging technologies, art used in one artist's media can now be transported into the future with another media. Could Van Gogh have conceived this second life his painting would reincarnate? Turn up your Volume. Music: Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky.
