Summary Big Charlie (2010) is an animated digital video that focuses on the Frank Slide, an event that occurred on April 29, 1903 in the town of Frank, located south of the Canadian Rockies. The Frank Slide is considered one of the greatest geological disasters of the past century, where 90 million tons of limestone from nearby Turtle Mountain buried the town. The story is told from the perspective of Big Charlie, a workhorse that was one of the few survivors of the disaster. Utilizing claymation, digitally collaged images, animated archival and recent footage the piece attempts to play with sense and perception in visual and auditory storytelling. View more details
