Truth

“Truth” is the first of two experiments in animation involving the transposition of conceptual material to visual form. The film explores what is in philosophical circles called the correspondence or representational theory of truth. Technically, the film demonstrates the power of simple stop-motion technique using cut-outs. The voice-over narration is intercut with cut-out maneuvers shot single-frame to rockabilly music. Precise synchronization to sound effects enhances the exploration of grace, expression through movement, and timing. The second of the two films, “Relativism” (1999), introduces the use of color.
