create or die

since he won the golden bear at berlinale 2009 for the best short film his name resounds throughout the land.
david o`reilly, a berlin based artist from ireland is one of the new faces in animation and motion graphics. he had his break though with the short film "please say something" and has been doing animation sequences for the film "the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy (2005)".
the aesthetic of his short films is very stripped down - i really like the use of perspectives in "please say something". despite to the often said rawness of his animations, o`reilly says that most of his aesthetic choices are more about economy than finding a unique style. to the question about what it is that enables him to be creative, he answears that it´s the limitations of software- "when your imagination comes into contact with limitations it produces ideas." read the whole interview

david o`reilly definitely brings a fresher feel into the motion graphics and animation business- although he has to commit that it´s hard to earn a living from independent animation projects. in the hope to see more independent projects soon..check out his current works on his website
