Tideline (United States) by Jason Harrington

Tideline is a stop-motion short film crafted from materials gathered in the intertidal zone of a small cove on an island in Maine. Using rocks, seaglass, feathers, shells, and other found objects, the film explores the natural layering of colors. Inspired by artists who transform natural materials into paintings and sculptures, I wanted to bring these patterns to life through animation, reflecting the way materials arrange themselves in nature. Tideline transforms these found objects into an animated color study, celebrating the textures and hues of the shoreline.
