Ato-Mick

In a make believe world, anything is possible. Ato-Mick is a sci-fi fable about friendship, discovery, and imagination. Inspired by the physical poetry of Keaton and Chaplin, Ato-Mick combines an old cinematic look with contemporary technology and animation, creating a story from the heart.

Comment by Daniel Alexander Belton on June 8, 2010 at 8:08pm: Do we look through the camera lens, or do we see through it? I am focussing my curiosity through the camera. It is active, it is about seeing. In a world which increasingly encourages us not to think for ourselves, how do we keep the curious mind alive? Where is our spirit of inquiry? knowledge is valuable, but imagination is vital. Children are naturally very curious. When we are at our most open and receptive we are curious - and our whole being resonates with possibility and potential. It is as if what we can imagine will manifest - from thought to reality. This is an empowering message, especially for the young, that comes through in this new film.

Comment by Daniel Alexander Belton on June 8, 2010 at 8:07pm: My main focus is to design a synthesis in moving image. I work with the human body to curate story fragments and develop time based sculpture. I visualise and edit film as a choreographer shapes a dance. The film window is as much instrument as the body is instrument. Both speak to each other in a kinetic sense. Before technology connected speech to film cinematic stories were depicted in movement and gesture. The screen space was electric with physical expression in the telling, supported by music and often guided with captions or scene titles. I am inspired by many silent films because of their physical beauty and their sense of movement. Theatre and screen spaces are incubators - we can expose new ideas and creativity in a deeply concentrated, focussed space.

Comment by Daniel Alexander Belton on June 8, 2010 at 8:06pm: Capturing the human body moving on film holds it in time. We can revisit it, re-shape the material in the process of editing. In Ato-Mick we made deliberate emphasis to bind the human characters into an essentially artificial and mechanical paradigm.
