Bird That Whistles

Bisexuality: are you curious?

Karina — Mon, 11 May 2009 01:03:02 +0000

This is a long form short that I produced and directed in Dallas, Texas in 2004. It was my senior film at the University of North Texas. It’s made up of interviews I had with people in the bisexual community. I used actors to portray these interviews since some of the participants were still not “out” and felt uncomfortable about being on camera. Bisexuality: are you curious? was accepted into the Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival in 2005.

Being a little bit of a novice to stop motion animation; I thought I would dabble in it with this cute story. This was shot on my digital camera and the faces were created in photoshop. I used Final Cut to edit the audio and visuals together. Special thanks to Robert Officer for helping shoot the images of the spiders. Music by Emmet Ray.
