The brief was to research the life of Marcel Breuer and create a film in homage to him. It was largely one idea that inspired him to make his most famous pieces of work. It was Breuer riding his bike to work in Germany, that gave him the idea that bending tubular metal made stylish yet functional furniture that was strong and as hard wearing as his own bicycle. As I was paying homage to him, I wanted to include as much of his personal style as possible, including any specific materials and artistic influences.
In my animation, the viewer follows the bicycle on its journey through town to the Bauhaus. It passes busy shopping streets, various building and environments. Throughout this journey the bike is influenced by its surroundings, and when it reaches its destination it is inspired in the form of three coloured lines.
