3 min 30 sec Medium: Acrylic paint on glass, stop motion animation. [i]This project was an experiment of manipulating paint on glass and animating it frame by frame. It's an abstract exploration of grief and loss; visualization of the most vivid memory with the person lost and desire to bring him back. [/i]

"My Egaugnal" Video Project

Aygul I — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:21:47 GMT

6 min 35 sec [i]Cast: Aygul Idiyatullina, Djaudat Idiyatullin, Marcela Angel, Wei Zhang, Chris Stevens, Sarah Kanouse, Farida Idiyatullina.[/i] This experimental video project investigates a personal longing to find a balance between three languages that I use in my everyday life: Tatar - my native language, Russian - language of my home country, English - language of the country I currently live in. Like three completely different worlds, they are associated with different people, emotions, and states of mind. So what happens, when those worlds collide and intersect? Media: Video, 8mm, HD Video, Animation [b]The work will be screened at the Juried Exhibition Code-Switchers in the San Francisco Gallery The LAB on Oct. 2nd at 8:00 PM.

"Maybe" Animation

Aygul I — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:21:28 GMT

3 min 50 sec Media: 3D Animation, Final Cut Pro Editing "Maybe" is my first attempt at 3D animation in Maya, where I tried to play with 2D and 3D imagery to create a dreamlike setting. It is an illustration of my confused state of mind after my Grandfather's passing. It is a race through my memories and my own way of coping with the fact, and most of all - it is saying "goodbye" to my childhood in Russia, which my Grandpa embodied. It is my fear of coming back home this winter and not finding him there. But maybe, maybe he is not gone. Maybe he is still there behind his wooden desk, editing another book, and laughing with Grandma. Maybe he will be there, when I race through the ocean, and land, and streets to reach his house. He will be there, and I'll hug him. And once again I'll feel like a child. [b] "Maybe" won Best Experimental Short Film Award at the 2008 Riverside Saginaw Film Festival in Saginaw, WI.
