Eyedrops Spec Spot "TGIF"

Here's my latest stop-motion project getting some love this week, I'm fairly swamped with work at the moment so I'll take time to deconstruct it in future blog posts.  For now, enjoy!  I worked hard on it dammit.

Coming Soon: New Stop Motion!

I'm currently wrapping up a couple of stop motion projects that I shot earlier this year, they should be up within the week!  In related news, I think I've done enough stop motion compositing for the summer.  

Visine "TGIF" Director's Cut

Leo Burnett & Kieran Antill "The Language of the 21st Century" 

I'd also like to thank everyone who came out to support at the Brooklyn Film Festival!  It was a great year & I'd like to congratulate all of my fellow filmmakers who put the 'tainment' back in 'edutainment'.

I didn't have time to photoshop more people into the audience.

... almost done!

Here's a screen from a stop-motion spec piece I'm doing for Lifelong Friendship Society.  If all goes as planned it should be done within a week!

Time for some 'LAPSE.

Here's a time-lapse video of us working in the LFS Studio from around mid-November to mid-December.  There are a few days missing here and there because we were a little too busy at times to check and see if the camera was working, but I think you get the gist of what went down.  Weekends are for the weak after all!

... oh and the Kevin Rudolph video made it into the latest edition of STASH!  Hell yes.
