Over The Rainbow "Oh my. (I have always depended, as every novelist must, on the kindness of strangers.)" -- William Gibson, author of Neuromancer and arguably "The most important writer of our time" This video was inspired to a great extent by many Bjork videos, especially her work with Chris Cunningham and Michel Gondry. This was my first attempt at "virtual" directing. The actress, from Australia, filmed her parts on a green screen, as did I. Both parts I then spliced together in After Effects on backgrounds constructed in Photoshop. My rendition of the song can be found here. The Water Music Symphony Song "Water Music Symphony Song" was a video project for an environmental media course. The concept was to make all the audio and the video using only the sounds and visuals of water, manipulated through computer synthesis, video editing and compositing. For example, the "string sections" are made from the modulated sound of waves crashing and the drums are made from waterfalls and the sound of objects being thrown into a tub. Nature is mad groovy! Get the song at the Twilite Minotaur band site. Synesthesia "Imagination is more important than knowledge" -- Albert Einstein The video was inspired in part by the work of neuroscientists and other explorers of the mind including V.S. Ramachandran, Henry Markram, Jerry Edelman, Christof Koch, Douglas Hofstadter, and David Chalmers, among others. Synesthesia is believed to be by some to be key to understanding metaphor, creativity, abstract thought, and other high-level brain functions, including the emergence of language itself ("booba" "kiki"). The song can be found at the Junk Magic band site The Guitar Hero VersionAngelfish (Rough Sketch) - Angelfish is and has been a confounding leviathan of a project, originally estimated to be about eleven minutes long involving scenes ranging from 19th century Pacific edens to Moby Dick pirate ships to sunken cyberpunk dystopias to The Abyss to The Matrix! This video is a very rough animatic trailer with a few more fleshed out scenes. We await unlimited access to Lucas Arts and Dreamworks! |
