AAFF 48th Promo Video

That’s right its that time of year again for the Ann Arbor Film Festival.  The longest running experimental film festival is in its 48th year and stronger then ever.  For the third year in a row I have animated the trailer for the festival.  This year the trailer is one of my personal favorites just in terms of how complex the project was in terms of animating so many layers.  I estimate over 600+ layers were used in the project.  The Great Design by Ryan Molloy was a blast to animate, the audio track by JDSY makes the graphics come to life!  Although I think I need a new computer if I plan on rendering out these large 1080p HD videos.

Enjoy, and don’t forget to buy your advanced passes for the Festival!

JDSY – Smoke n Mirrors

Music video for the song Smoke n Mirrors by JDSY featured on the Moodgadget complilation The Rorschach Suite.

When I approached Joey (aka JDSY) about creating a video for this song it was recieved with great enthusasm.  We chated via instant messager about the idea of dumping lots of milk all over his old ford.  Later ideas  inclduing cuting a gallon of milk in mid air with a samurai sword.  Deck Master D. assured me he could perform the manuver.

Needless to say non of these idea were acutalized.  Instead Dawn Stronski and I decided to play with some old childhood puppets of mine.  This video is the result.
