Love in the Snow

I present to you another one of my animated videos! Like the video in the previous post, this one was another contribution to the hitRECord "Little Smokestacks - Short Film Collaboration" by FauxFix

Like in the other video the editing and the animating of all the still illustrations was done by me.

Salute to All You Animators Out There!

This is one of my first videos where I've attempted to animate a still image! 

'Kissing in the Snow', is a contribution to the HitRECord, 'Little Smokestacks' Short Film. It's a beautiful winter song by FauxFix and they have called on all artists to contribute their work and make this beautiful song into a magical music video. So, I contributed my editing skills!

The Artist - Doodling Leads To Short Film

'Artist dry spells' can be a huge motivation if you know how to take advantage of them. A mere doodle can turn into a short horror/suspense film, and with an iPhone 4S by your side you can do just about anything with regards to filming! 

This little piece is not really about the actual art work, but more about the transitions and style of editing. The sound effects I used also play a major part in the unfolding of this story.

Poem of an Insomniac

On occasion I will dabble in some poetry. It usually hits me during the most awkward moments in my life, usually when emotions are high. Or when I'm burning the midnight oil staring at the wall in the darkness, and watching the shadows that aren't there form a story of their own. On occasion my mind is brilliant, she'll express what I'm feeling with such coherent articulation, that I fear she may be a little too creative for me. On occasion you will get something like the following:

A Beautiful Mind
by The Girl with the Kaleidoscope
Written September 28, 2011

When you sit in your bed and contemplate,
Your mind drifts off to speculate,

Is this what life is supposed to be?
Wandering thoughts about frivolous things?

Can I be someone of deep contemplation?
Or does my mind suffer from lack of imagination?

Drifting off to sleep I sometimes ponder,
How is it my dreams are so much deeper?

The mind is truly magnificent,

If only I could deep contemplate,
Speculate and let my imagination tap into it!
