Posts, like the one below, were previously published 2 years ago<\/a>, when the Loving Vincent<\/em> <\/a>film was just starting to be produced. Since this time and after a successful Kickstarter campaign, the film is now finished and finally available to see in the States. I was lucky to see it recently at the historic Avalon Theater, with this picturesque mural above.<\/p>\n

\"Avalon<\/p>\n

There hasn’t been another film like this that marries live action with actual painted images (over 65,000 frames and 60,000 paintings) that were painted by 125 classically trained artists in the style of Vincent Van Gogh. Rotoscopy<\/a> technology, layering imagery over live action, was used in the black and white sequences; whereas, the artists imagined what the live action was to be able to paint the color sequences in Vincent’s characteristic, sweeping-brushstroke style. The film’s plot follows a murder mystery about how Vincent died. We imagine Hugh Welchman will win another academy award, if anything for the sheer effort involved!<\/p>\n

Click here to find<\/a> when the film is coming to your town and go to the Theatre List (top tab).<\/p>\n

If the film has already aired in your town, you may still be able to watch it on this GoWatch<\/a> site.<\/p>\n

It is visual mastery to see Vincent’s portraits and paintings come to life.<\/p>\n
