    VITRVVIVS will be screening at the Rome (GA) International Film Festival on Friday, September 11, 2009 at 11pm. It is part of the experimental block…and a nominee for that category!  I am humbled and excited that they selected my film.

    It looks like Mythic Journeys is also playing (and a nominee for american documentary) which includes animation by Michael Granberry!

  • Philosophy of Creative Works: 2

    silentsound

    • Facet A (absence of sound) is more important than facet B (noise or tone).
    • Facet A or B exist individually as data.
    • Facets A + B together equate to information.
    • The existence of facet A provides definition or identity for facet B. Without A the accumulation of sounds from B results in noise.
    • The illustration is not music but instead provides instructions for the creation of an audible work.
    • The illustration contains no primer. Only minimal (symbolic?) meta-instructions are provided with an assumed literacy on the part of the recipient.

  • Philosophy of Creative Works: 1

    I was thinking about my stopmotion projects and also what I find attractive in the work of other creatives. I then thought about ways to visually represent this method, approach or general philosophy. So…

    A is more important than B.

  • Show me your movie poster…

    I decided to do a quick post of independent stopmotion animator projects with movie poster style marketing images. Send links for your project’s movie poster or others that I may have missed. My general rule for posting these is that the image has to take the form of your typical movie poster, teaser poster, or teaser card…web page banners and production stills don’t count. 😎
