Book-Cut Storytelling: Three Stills and a Lemon
Anagram: Octopus
I wrote about book-cut storytelling before: sculpting Textual Landscapes and our Environment from book pages.
Here are some more examples, not animated this time, but three well executed stills. They’re from Kaspen/Jung v. Matt in Bratislava for the anagram bookstore in Prague.
The print series comes with the headline “Words Creates Worlds” (click to embiggen):
A somewhat different approach I found from Saint Elmo’s, Munich, for Audible audiobooks & audiomagazines. It animates the letters rather than the pages, and the headline is „Lebendige Worte“, or “Living Words”:
The form’s nicely executed, but the content’s a lemon. If you don’t understand German, rejoice: the spot’s bland, uninspired, and utterly generic copy is as dull as dishwater and about as far from being well-crafted as The Sun is from being a respectable newspaper.
