animator, artist, and silly little guy

Kendall Scully

howdy there!

I'm a Calgary-based artist with a broad range of experience and interest in a multitude of artistic mediums and topics. These include animated documentary, digital painting, 2D and 3D animation, undercamera, crochet, terrible semi-ironic self-portraiture, and whatever else I can get my hands on.
I'm heavily inspired by both real and ficticious history and draw from many souces. These include the vaguely medieval setting of tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons, the impact of early 20th century modern art on the current zeitgeist of arts and culture, and the groovy aesthetics of the 80s and 90s, among many others.
One of the main components of my work is the exploration of the lives of strangers around us, the shared culture of a place that stems from the small, unique actions of individuals, and the infinite complexity that personhood brings. Through film I document these ideas of individual and collective culture and experiences to interpret how I experience the world.

Articulate (2023)

An interview based film wherein my mother recounts my childhood, and how I barely spoke in my youth.

Impressions (2022)

This film combines the compositions of Impressionist paintings with modern people and scenarios to replicate the culture of the late 17th century of peoplewatching at the opera in a current day context. The viewer is the watcher, observing the daily goings on of people in the city.

Editing Room '99 (2021)

Editing Room ‘99 is an experimental short that plays with conventional film narratives through the manipulation of film strip in its arrangement, degradation, and additions to the physical medium. The film additionally serves as a unique form of archive, taking 35mm film from the discard bin at the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, an indirect history of the people within the facility: film that has already been manipulated, worn down from time, or kept in pristine condition, an indication of what was once screened, taught, or worked upon in years previous. These snippets of memories were left mostly untouched in an innocuous white bin with a notice taped above titled “Editing Room 1999.”

The Last Straw (2021)

An interview about a fast food worker's worst restaurant experience, including bathroom shenanigans and an angry boss.
