Luke Stephenson Creates Good Luck

In addition to being your humble bloggerina, I am also a preschool art teacher. I mention this now because the above video that Luke Stephenson has made for Bare Teeth reminds me of the beauty that comes when simple materials are transformed into magical things. Paint and paper combine to represent a new world where cardboard and pipe cleaners are suddenly a functioning part of a Good Luck Factory!
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Luke, and when I asked what he was working on, he had this to say:
A music video, it's going to be an animation of a factory in a forest, and it should be interesting to make. I have made one or two little films before, and they are good fun. I don't really know what I'm doing or how its really going to work but I think that is what makes it fun.
Fun to make and fun to watch!
The video reminds me of something Stéphane and Stéphanie might have made in The Science of Sleep. And the music? Well, the music is delightful--makes me envision elves playing on a sunny snowy mountaintop.
If only Luke didn't live an ocean away I'd be begging him to come and spend the day making videos with my 4 year olds.
