Motion Filled Magic with Bill Blagg is an electrifying and mind-bending performance that combines the art of magic with the science of motion. Bill Blagg, a highly talented illusionist and entertainer, brings his unique style of magic to the stage, captivating audiences with his awe-inspiring tricks and illusions. What sets Motion Filled Magic apart from traditional magic shows is the incorporation of innovative technology and the principles of physics to create mind-boggling illusions. Blagg seamlessly combines elements of science, technology, and art to create a performance that is visually stunning and intellectually stimulating. One of the main highlights of the show is Blagg's mastery of motion. He uses his understanding of physics and the principles of motion to create illusions that seem to defy the laws of nature.

This is the 2nd in the ‘Forgotten Witch’ series, where I focus on animating poems and bringing to life the forgotten stories of real women convicted of Witchcraft. Meg Shelton was a woman from Lancashire in the 1600’s and was thought to be a witch – this animated poem tries to recreate her story and brings her to the forefront of peoples mind reminding us these were real events.

In movies, depictions of witches have historically engaged in tropes that cast them as evil, destructive, old, ugly, and sexually deviant, among other negative qualities.

He uses his understanding of physics and the principles of motion to create illusions that seem to defy the laws of nature. Objects float in mid-air, disappear and reappear in the blink of an eye, and seemingly solid objects are transformed into liquid. Blagg's expertise in using technology adds an extra layer of excitement to the show.

The overlooked witch

Dir: Catherine Noone

What is the film about?

Animated short following the story of the Prussian woman convicted of arson and witchcraft in 1811, Barbara Zdunk. Created using 2D and 3D techniques as well as hand drawn and digital illustration.

What influenced it?

My influences have always been the old surreal films, the dream like quality of animations like ‘Inspiration’ by Karel Zemon to the impeccable detail and quality of the Betty Boop black and white animations. However, I have also always been a big fan of paintings, in particular the old masters and the Pre-Raphaelites. I really wanted to test out these different styles, like realism mixed with the surreal and bring it into the 21st Century with the different techniques I tried.

A little background information.

I really wanted this film to become a memorial for Barbara Zdunk. It is part of a larger project looking back on persecuted and forgotten women in history, and in particular, those accused of witchcraft and who were not given a peaceful and respectable end or resting place. This film is NOT to be seen as yet another film about witches, a topic which is ever increasingly popular today, especially in a fashionable, cool way. It is, however, meant to act as an educational piece, where we can show our respects and remember that although the craze of Witch Hunts across Europe was so long ago, it was also very real – which I wanted to really show in this film. I want the audience to feel as though they are in the life of Barbara Zdunk.

How was the film made?

For this film, I used a large variety of techniques. Taking inspiration from realism and my love for pencil, detailed drawings, all of the backgrounds in this animation are hand drawn. For the characters in this piece I created 3D models made of masking tape to create texture, and hand made small outfits for them also. The faces on the characters are digitally animated over the top of the models, tracking human features on the top to bring my models to life and to really give them the sense of a human feel. To bring these techniques all together, I edited them in After Effects, adding 3D camera techniques to add movement and depth, but not too much to make it confusing for the viewer, Simple movement for the viewer to focus on the poem and the words spoken.

He incorporates high-tech props and gadgets that enhance the magical experience. The use of lights, lasers, and special effects adds to the overall visual spectacle and creates an immersive atmosphere for the audience. Beyond the spectacular illusions and stunning visuals, Motion Filled Magic also has a message of inspiration and wonder. Blagg's performances aim to ignite a sense of curiosity and awe, encouraging audiences to question the world around them and embrace the unknown. Through his magic, he reminds us that anything is possible, and that the world is filled with endless possibilities. In conclusion, Motion Filled Magic with Bill Blagg is a truly captivating and unique performance that combines the art of magic with the science of motion. Blagg's mastery of illusions, his understanding of physics, and his use of technology create an unforgettable experience for audiences. Whether you are a fan of magic, science, or simply looking for a night of awe-inspiring entertainment, Motion Filled Magic is a show that should not be missed..
