Released in 1983, RUNNING is an animation film directed by Yoshinao Satoh, running about 2 minutes.
What it’s about. This is the first animation I made for a university class when I was around 21 years old. I cut up pieces of black paper and pasted them one by one on a white wall, then filmed them. I traced a photo book by Eadweard Muybridge to create the material. It was made on 8mm film. The background music uses some of the soundtrack from the film "Ragtime." I created it with the sole focus of matching the music to the movement of the pictures and the scene changes. It is a memorable work for me.
How it landed. With an audience score of 6.0/10, RUNNING has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
