Animation: HERMÉS – Le Temps Hermés

| lucydyson

🇫🇷 LE TEMPS HERMÈS⌚️

http://time.hermes.com/

I collaborate with Hermés Paris on the 2018 campaign “Time, a Hermés object”.

I was asked to create two short animations exploring the playful concept of “Hermés time” in Honolulu, one evoking daytime and the other nighttime.

For the day animation I experimented with footage I photographed of my sister, collaging her into a surreal beach world where jellyfish float through the sky.

The moon is the main star in the night animation, diving into a psychedelic neon coral reef before bouncing back into the star-fish speckled night sky.

Here’s a short animation I created for Paul Smith, in which he discusses the influences and inspirations behind the “Dreamer” print in the AW18 collection.

✨🐸🌳🐌✨

Paul Smith is a wonderful designer and person and this was an incredibly cool commission, produced by Mark Fountain, with audio by Jamie Dodd.

“Drift away into a colourful dream world as Paul explains the influences and inspirations behind the autumn winter ‘18 ‘Dreamer’ print.”

Directing and animating the music video for Paul Kelly’s version of the Dylan Thomas poem “And Death Shall Have No Dominion” was really wonderful. Thank you Paul Kelly and thank you Dylan Thomas. 💀🐍🍂🌱🌓✨

From @paulkellyofficial “AND DEATH SHALL HAVE NO DOMINION video is out now, and true to the style of Director, @lucydysonsphere full of wonder and humour. You’ll have seen Dyson’s work across a few of Paul’s records. Anyone remember the last video she made for us? Team PK”

Music Video: XYLOURIS WHITE – Only Love

| lucydyson

Xylouris White is a collaboration between Greek singer and laouto player George Xylouris and Australian drummer Jim White, best known for his work with Dirty Three. The duo’s music has been described as combining “free-jazz, avant-rock and ages-old Greek folk traditions.”

This animation was created using a combination of footage I shot on my iPhone and an old Lumix camera in Greece, some press shots from the band, and a collection of tour snaps taken by George and Jim.

The track was produced by Guy Picciotto from Fugazi, so I put him in the animation also (care of one of the aforementioned tour snapshots)

The video for Only Love premiered at relix.com and was the lead single off Xylouris White’s second album “Mother” released on Bella Union and ABC Music in Australia. 🐐🐐🙌🐐🐐

In March 2018 I held a solo exhibition at the Australian Embassy in Berlin, the work spanned my art practise since first moving to Berlin in 2011, it also included a three channel video installation of my animations.

The opening reception was held on International Women’s Day and was opened by Dr Lauren Bain, Deputy Head Of Mission.
