full house
Full House is a short animation film produced through a variety of techniques including collage, monotype printmaking, and stop motion. The soundtrack mixes different sounds recorded inside three separate houses, such as the noise produced by doors opening and closing, stairs, light switches, as well as fragments of conversations.
“In the Spring of 2021, before moving out of the first two houses I lived in Japan, I decided to record the sounds of each house before they were gone. The idea came from a childhood memory I have of the noisy wooden stairs of my house in the countryside of Sao Paulo, Brazil, where each step produced a unique sound. The melody that the combination of sounds created is still vivid in my mind and it was different if you were going up or down the stairs. I then combined the sounds of the two old houses with the sounds of the new house I moved into with my family, creating the soundtrack for this printmaking animation.”
