Synopsis

The film is a stream of 1089 individual connected consciousnesses.
This doodle spans 15 years and includes more than 33,000 individual drawings of ink on paper.

From 2001 until 2016 I asked friends, colleagues and students to draw the first thing that came to mind and then asked them to transform that image into the next participant’s image over the course of 15-60 frames. In most cases I taught them how to animate in order to do this.

I repeated this process over 1000 times and assembled the results into “Everything Changes”.

Your mind is left scrambling for a pattern where there may not really be one. The morphs run from crude to skilled. It never slows down till it is finished.
