This is a group work by students from Sheridan College. It took them about 7 months. I think I'm going to have to watch it again.

Silent Film Series

I'm going to start a silent film series on Miles of Smiles today. There is an interesting genre that is blossoming in web video where no dialogue is used in the videos like when film was first invented, but these directors aren't directly mimicking the "old film" style, they are using current effects and shot styles, keeping them in crisp HD and telling the story visually. This is smart, because it is very difficult to find a good dialogue actor and this allows you to free yourself from bad acting and focus on mise en scene.

I present to you:

Neil Diamond

I know, not animation, but real quick, I was out at a country bar tonight called the office lounge and we were doing a little karaoke. Its not a bad idea to use your iPhone to pull up a video of the song you're about to sing with the youtube app. It helps remind you on how the verse goes.

This was the video I used to refresh my memory on Holly Holy. I did it true.

Jordan Clarke

Looking today at Jordan Clarke, a motion designer and video producer out of Vancouver. I believe he's at or was at Vancouver Film School, I think I saw a credit that mentioned that somewhere in there. Anyhow, really crisp work with After Effects and Cinema 4D.

SproutBox

SproutBox - How does it work? from SproutBox on Vimeo.

This semester I'm an intern at a company called SproutBox and I've been working on a web video for them for a couple months and it was finally completed this past week. I think it turned out pretty good.
This is my first commercial work as far as video goes but I'm proud of it and within its first couple of days its received some good traffic so I'm excited about it.

Also this weekend I showed my Skymall project that you can watch a snippet from here and also a new digital installation in another gallery. I'll have pictures from the events up soon enough. I think it went pretty well. A lot of people came out to see the art which was fun, it was sort of bloomington's night of art. I'll do a more introspective article on the night later.

Dueces, my friends.
