Where animation meets the desolation of the real world…

I’ve been noticing a lot of animations over the top of real footage and photography at the moment. A gorgeous visual trend (and one I’m really hoping won’t be done to death).

These two really stand out for me. Not to Scale’s piece below is just pixellated goodness, and completely transforms the bleak swimming pool:

And Olga Mink’s more reflective ‘art-piece’ is mesmerisingly beautiful, slow and gripping. Reminds me of the feeling you get watching a Tarkovsky film - painful, but in a good way.
