Final videos can be seen here.

I’m also quickly finding that since their name contains an exclamation point in it, it’s very difficult to either A) write a sentence where I too would like to use an exclamation point, or B) finish off a sentence using their name in any way that is less than ecstatic.

While I’m a live action/low-fi effects guy and not an animator like many of their directors, perhaps I’ll finally be able to bring my “flying tongue kid” test animation idea to life sometime this year {exclamation point} I also must sincerely say that I’m very excited to be working with the creative director John Andrews and alongside some very talented people on the roster. Will be a great pool of people to continually learn from.

In my path I saw this dirty tissue resting perfectly on top of a decaying twig of sorts, to make a little rose. To my excitement, and the bewilderment of those trying to walk past me (and perhaps those reading this), I then ran to catch a green piece of paper that blew past my way. Grass!

My local watering hole of choice is a few blocks away from my apartment, on the walk home I successfully drew smiley faces on almost every car. I say “almost every” solely because of the one with the flashing blue Viper alarm light that I didn’t care to get tangled up with. I contemplated gathering forces with others to cover the entire city, but chose to return home and watch this video over and over again instead.

I fly, I ride a train, I hop in a car, I drop off my bags, and then it’s off to the festival an hour later. To kick off the festival there is a video by Francis Ford Coppola on the region of Basilicata (the region in which the town of Maratea calls home). And up next will be the work that I created for the festival. Who would have thought that my inability to properly pronounce words in Italian would have progressively be turning into such a good career opportunity? Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger did it in America, I mine as well capitalize on it in Italy.
