Magritte Animation

In thinking about a topic for a possible tv show, Magritte, the surreal artist comes to mind. I would be a fun visual style to work with, the potential tv show being about his works coming to life. There could different appraoches, from live action filming to try and capture his paintings using my surroundings, or motion graphics, animating in and out of the different elements of his work.

Here are some people that have done these kind of animations on youtube:



Good story line, as if Magritte is standing at the window, seeing the world in reference to his paintings. I am not crazy about the execution, the color pencil style drawings, and would stick with using his actual paintings to deconstruct and animate.





here is someone who has use the actual artwork, but the transitions and timing are sloppy. Faster transitions, and a more clever approach to how the paintings combine.
