Deconstructing Desk

Ahhh, I had a pretty sweet desk setup. Seriously, it was so awesome I had to document the deconstruction! I don't think time-lapses ever get old... enjoy!

I Wear Stories

The first day of my 7c art class my TA took photos of all of us (and didn't tell us why). Then at the end of the quarter, for the last project, he emailed us the photo of ourselves and we had to make an art piece using some/all of the clothes we had on in the photo. Any kind of piece: sculpture, performance, drawing, video... I looked at the photo, and knew I had to make something about Unicycling shirts (I was wearing my Unicon 12 event shirt), and every shirt I pick in the morning has a story and fights for my attention. Figge helped me setup the lighting and animate the first "shirt squirm" part, and my housemate Ben stayed up until 4 in the morning with me making the music with his guitar and Garageband sitting on my bed. This short was done just in time for my class the next day. It's kind of unfinished, but whatever, I slapped credits on there and called it done.

7 explode

Another class project (Art 7a). We all had to record 1 minute of audio somewhere (anywhere!). We exchanged cds in class randomly, and then we had to manipulate the sound then put images to it. I made the audio I received sound spacy, and some parts a bit drum-like. This animation turned out pretty cool, especially the 2nd half. Oh yeah, those crickets I found in Kyle's room, he feeds them to his chameleon...

In-Flight Fun

So far, this is the only movie I've made entirely in-flight. The amazing thing about Apple's Macbook, is that has a webcam built-in. Fire up istopmotion, and you've got a truly mobile stopmotion rig! I dig the music in this.

Secret Disease Production Logo 1

This was an attempt to make an intro for my friends' production company. It's only like 10 seconds long, and it kind of weird. However, I had fun recording a few sounds effects! Anyway, they didn't use this, but they completed an amazing short film: Titan Sting. Hopefully it will be online soon...

Suenos en Realidad

This is raaaaannnndom. Some tests done at an amazing beachside bungalow in Maui. Some rockin music by Ozomatli.

Cleaning the Living Room

So you have to clean the living room... Might as well make a stopmotion out of it! Yeah... so nothing that special, but time-lapes and slow motion pretty much amaze me every time.

The New Mac

Summer 2006. My first animation with my new macbook. Pretty silly, but pourquoi pas? The end is pretty awesome though...

Skittle Test

I was going to make a short film about my friend Jess Fidler eating skittles, where the skittles kept eluding her hands, and broke out into choreographed musical on the table. Hah. So this is a test I did to make a really excited skittle bag.

Ode to Scott

Short random stopmotion of me opening a package. I was really excited because a finally bought the best unicycle handle there is, and it seemed appropriate to make an animation of the opening. Everyone should try this.

Oh yeah, the music is awesome! Thanks to Kyle :) p.s., it takes longer to load than expected, so just give it some time.

P.S. I made this with my old PC in my dorm room early 2006, using MonkeyJam.
