-:- animated short films -:-

As this project has developed, I have felt that some aspects of the salvia experiences have not been adequately expressed in static art or words, but through animation. This feeling originally kickstarted a side project called :: salviavision :: which was abandoned, but the results can be seen here. In particular, the experience I had in 2005 with the Wheel Of Time did not really render so well in static art, but the animated form here is closer to the original experience.

Music in these animations comes mostly from my Salvia Sounds and Music project also on this site. I do plan to continue with this project eventually, and at least one live action short film is storyboarded, waiting for a rainless sunny day in a local forest!
