Construction Confusion

-Stop-Animation Experiment-

This was part of a demonstration/tutorial I prepared for Telecommunity. The students had an interest in traditional forms of animation, so I worked on a few examples using objects around the house.

While digging around the basement for 'test subjects' I came across a couple of stress-relief toys, shaped like traffic and construction objects. Inspired, my objective in this example was to show what variety you can get using organization and symmetry. The music used is a piece I like to call "Submerged". The end result is somthing fun and goofy like you would find on Sesame Street... Enjoy!

Feline
Cuisine

-Cat Food Commercial-

Experiment in Commercial/Advertising.. I shot everything in a few hours, most of that time spent chasing my co-stars *Elmer, Spider and Buffy* all over the house trying to get them to "act.". Editing took less than a day, and the voice-over and music was created in less than an hour. So there you go... a cat food commercial done in 2 days. Enjoy:)

Puppet
in
Morte

-Stop-animation art film -

Puppet in Morte was an independant project I started about a year ago, mostly as an experiment in stop-motion animation using a wooden art figure. When Synthesia, my music and multimedia concert, came around, I decided to put the existing clips to music. Tintinabulations, a piece for marimba and MalletKAT, became the perfect soundtrack to the insanity which is Puppet In Morte.

the Bird Machine

- Music Concret Art Film -

Accompanying footage to my music concret piece, The Bird Machine. The recording itself is comprised of sound effects from machinery and nature... To listen to the soundtrack by itself without visuals leaves much up to the imagination. This footage was made primarily to go along with a live performance of the peice during my concert, Synthesia 2004. The imagery includes collages I created from photographs of my first trip to Toronto. This film does not portray the actual story intended by the recording, however I plan to do an actual animated film in the near future, using stop-animation techniques and odd materials.
