"LOVING VINCENT" PAINTED FILM - HOW IT WAS MADE

The animation-style, stop-motion film is made entirely from real oil paintings. The result looks as if Van Gogh's vivid figures have come to life. The story considers what might have happened if Van Gogh did not kill himself, but was in fact murdered.

To capture changing backgrounds, facial expressions, and movement, each canvas was re-painted an average of 76 times. between them, the artists executed a total of 65.000 frames in oil paint.
