After creating The story of Little Suck-a-Thumb (Daumenlutscher) I decided I wanted to animate another story from the Struwwelpeter book. But this time instead of paper cutouts I wanted to animate the actual illustrations from the original book.  Using the new Puppet tool in After Effects I was able to create a creepy dance to the character.  JDSY over dubed the audio and helped me break some plates for SFX.  The music was composed by Steve Dannemiller.

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.
