Light Planes transform graphic animations into still art by arranging individual film sequences into static compositions. Each frame interacts to create dynamic patterns, colors, and textures. This combination is enhanced by the vibrant backlighting. The pieces bridge both the storytelling aspects of film and the compositional emotions of fine art. They freeze motion into visually striking planes of light. The viewer is invited to see movement in a new, unexpected way. Capturing these moments simultaneously creates a unique perspective on time and motion.

“I began to think about the possibilities of this technique when I was a film designer and director. I was threading the Movieola to view a daily when I accidentally dropped the reel, and it rolled across the white floor. I was immediately struck by the striking color transition of a cross-dissolve. At that moment, I said to myself, “I’m going to do something with that someday” -Boogie Black
