Issue 3’s cover artist Sarah Bodil, animated Seth Fried’s The Adventure of the Space Traveler for Electric Literature’s Single Sentence Animations. We couldn’t be happier about nabbing a creator connected to this most esteemed NY digital publication. Displaying the kind of collaborative canny we can only drool over, EL explain these projects thus:
In this video for Electric Literature’s Recommended Reading, a free fiction magazine, Sarah Bodil animates from The Adventure of the Space Traveler by Seth Fried. Music by David Rogers-Berry.
The sentence: ‘In the resulting explosion, Barington was thrown out like a dart into the vacuum of space at roughly five thousand feet per second.’
Single Sentence Animations are creative collaborations. The writer selects a favorite sentence from his or her work and the animator creates a short film in response.
