After realizing that yellow sticky note "to do" lists were consuming his life, filmmaker Jeff Chiba Stearns decided to visually self-reflect on his filmmaking journey by animating on the same sticky notes that caused him to ignore major world events for the last nine years. Animation meditation is blended with image, text, and an original musical score by Genevieve Vincent through the creation of a classically animated experimental film that was drawn straight ahead with only a black ink pen on over 2300 yellow sticky notes. Written by Jeff Chiba Stearns
This is a very unusual and creative animated film. Ostensibly, the film maker, Jeff Chiba Stearns, is addicted to using post-it notes and decides to use this odd addiction for a film. You hear Jeff narrate as lovely music plays and you see what he is talking about play itself out on the post-its. Some of it consists of just odd little blurbs--notes on things to do. Some of it consists of drawings and they seem to magically come to life and morph. All this is done by using thousands of post-it notes instead of traditional clear acetate for animation and it manages to both capture the viewer's attention and tell a story well.
Sadly, when I checked out his web page, there wasn't much on it--I was really hoping for more animations, as YELLOW STICKY NOTES is a talented and clever piece.
