Description:
This film is a 3D computer re-creation of an 18th-century drawing by the Venetian artist Canaletto. The viewer is able to enter the space of the 2D drawing and look around, while the moving light of the sun animates the otherwise motionless setting. An effort was made to combine the visual qualities of claymation, model photography, and time-lapse photography with the unique possibilities offered by computer animation.
