Animated short film by Leo Bridle
“In some cellar near London Wall, a gang of villains assail me by means of a machine”
The story of James Tilly Matthews, a patient in Bedlam who believed his thoughts were being controlled by a machine.
All frames were printed out, messed with and scanned back in. The warp effects were made by shining a video projector through a bowl of water and filming the refractions.
