Animation For Adults: The Afa Podcast

Evan Vernon interviews Signe Baumane, director of MOTHER'S SONG, a 3 minute clip from My Love Affair With Marriage. Much of the work at Signe Baumane Studio in Brooklyn is practical, meaning non-digital. Signe draws most of the animation herself, pencil on paper, Sturgis builds sets out of wood and their Team of artists covers them in paper-mâché and paint. The sets are lit and photographed, the Team pencil shadows the drawings then scans and organizes them into digital files before passing them on to the Latvian Team. MOTHER'S SONG was recently selected as a Winner in the Animation Nights New York 5th ANNY Best of Fest in 2021. MOTHER'S SONG On the night of a full moon, Zelma, age 13, discovers blood on her bed sheets. Her mother and three Mythology Sirens rush to educate her about what it means to be a woman.
