Octave

This short film presents a musical exploration of poetry, originally created while Hubley was working on her feature film, The Toe Tactic. Each frame of Octave is meticulously drawn on a single sheet of paper using watercolor pencil and ink, showcasing a distinct visual style.

The animation is complemented by a meditative score from the band Yo La Tengo, enhancing the overall atmosphere of the piece. The combination of animation and music invites viewers into a creative space that emphasizes the beauty of poetry through visual storytelling.
