MAR 325 Final Project : The Man

Day — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 01:33:05 +0000

View on page for MAR 340 web final

Stop-motion animated short, shot with digital still camera, edited in Final Cut. The scenes were unplanned, but premeditated in an ambiguous way, and shot on location in the Ceretana grain elevator. My main character was modified by destroying his antique authenticity with flexible copper to be able to animate him. The audio is from the LP soundtrack to Once Upon a Time in the West, composed by Ennio Morricone, titled The Man.

VintageVinylRevival.COM : Revamped & Relaunched!

Day — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 05:12:16 +0000

That’s right folks! The Vintage Vinyl Revival is back and better than ever.

Please visit http://vintagevinylrevival.com for a fix of everything you need from the Vintage Vinyl Revival, including music mixes and album art.

The site has undergone a drastic redesign, hopefully making it more functional, efficient and enjoyable.

I’ve kicked things off with the audio mixes of the very last FM session of the Vintage Vinyl Revival on College Radio. Enjoy these 5 sets for now. You can look forward to future sets of past shows you may have missed, as I’ll be going back in time to pull from the broadcast archives.

Hope you enjoy, and while you’re there, don’t forget to leave some comments.

Thanks!

MAR 221 : Artist Inspired

Day — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 22:57:57 +0000

Svankmajer Smells

Assignment: Research, then create a digital still image design inspired by the style of an artist of your choice.

I chose Jan Svankmajer, the influential Czech. surrealist artist known for his stop-motion animation. For this assignment I was drawn to some of his earlier drawings and sculptural “Natural Science” installments, in which he would assemble different found objects (bones, shells, etc.) into fictional creatures, and display them as if they were scientifically sound. Similarly, I found biology diagrams and reassembled the pieces to make my own fictional creature. I printed it out, crumpled it, and added notes, as if it was a homework handout from a twisted Svankmajer Biology class.
