George: Wrestling with Resistance

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 04:17:00 -0500

George: Wrestling with Resistance is a 32 minute Documentary Film that parallels the sport of wrestling with the inner city struggle. The filmmaker walked away from the editing room after 2 months of post production to mediate on the film, and entered into his studio. For 3 weeks he collaged 24" x 36" printed stills from the footage to create 'motion montages.' He then finished the film with this unique approach to filmmaking. Above are the finished collages. Please click on the images to see them enlarged.

The Gang Runs a 5k

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 10:38:00 -0500

This is a short film for a 5k "skirmish" in Hartford last Thursday. This wasn't your typical race as it involved steep inclines and stairs, but then again, we're not your typical runners as our training usually consists of a quick video game session followed by a round of beers. Honestly, going into this thing without any training wasn't as bad as it sounds. The 5k is the perfect distance for "wannabe" runners like myself to not train and still be able to make the finish line.

So we were pretty happy finishing somehwere in the 50 percentile, especially when watch the video and see where we started.

Update to Project "M"

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 10:34:00 -0500

Just thought I'd post an update to this project as I've been on a vector art journey the past couple of weeks. So far I'm pretty happy with the results and look forward to finishing the design work up. The next step... a little bit of hair.

The Best Video Game Intro Ever?

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 06:54:00 -0500

There's been a lot of buzz about the intro cartoon for the The Beatles Rock Band video game. You may notice a familiarity between the animation style of this and a Gorillaz music video. That's because it was created by some of the same people responsible for the band's popular cartoon videos. The game's intro starts off in a small club in Liverpool and then brings you on a trip with The Beatles as they travel the world. I think the best part of the animation however, is the good ol' acid trip scene. Let's hear it for tea parties on the top of elephant heads while leading a marching band of fish playing violin teeth.

Intro scene for Gopher it. This was a highlight film we created for the 2005 Springfield College Wrestling Team. It commemorates the seasons best matches, moves and memories. We're currently working on a site dedicated to the 4 feature films created for the SC Wrestling team including the much anticipated return of Daryl and the Gang. For now, just enjoy the trailer.

Kayak Across the Pacific Ocean?

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 07:33:00 -0500

Alright, this may be a stretch posting this topic on our "Art" blog but I had to put this up here. I've tagged this article under random, which it is and technology, or maybe lack thereof...

Cornally sent me a link from one of his co-workers this morning looking for directions from an address in Fairfield Connecticut to one in Newtown Connecticut. The above image is the result, a multi-day row-fest through the Pacific Ocean.

There's some really nice things happening here, like once you hit Japan the directions are in Japanese. But my favorite has got to be when Google Maps tells you to "Kayak across the Pacific Ocean." Oh, it should only take 56 days and 7 hours.

Here's a direct link to check it out for yourself: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=425+wormwood+rd+fairfield+ct+06824&daddr=4+Primrose+Street+newtown+ct&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=37.649034,-95.712891&sspn=52.958718,106.787109&ie=UTF8&z=3

Some Old/New Artwork

Sun, 07 Jun 2009 09:29:00 -0500

Here's a project that, as the title states, is a little bit of old and new work. I actually created the original digital file for this about 3 years ago? The picture was taken from a "Cheesy Sweater" Christmas Party back in school (thank you Ft. Pleasant for a beautiful venue).

This was originally created in photoshop and was not created in a vector program. I didn't want straight lines that a vector program usually makes. I like the way you could get a wavy line by being able to manipulate each pixel rather than the smoothly (what the hell does that mean) feel of a vector line.

With all that being said, I am now stuck recreating the image as a vector file (I knew that was going to come back to bite me in the ass). But the plan is to get this to a usable size to print on my next Snowboard!

This is step 1 in the project. I'll have updated posts about the evolution as they come. Looking for some comments, hopefully people dig it... maybe not... let me know.

The New Retro

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 08:30:00 -0500

While I was searching for retro designs I stumbled across the work of James White. Even though these may not be considered retro, "new retro" just works. I really like the use of bright primary colors on the black and white backgrounds. See more New Retro Work

Here are two photos for my sisters. They're stills from a previous video I shot and emphasis the idea of one moment in time. It's so fleeting yet the continous stream gets our bodies wrapped up in everything but those moments. I hope to be in the moment as much as possible when I am with the ones I love. Happy birthday Erin. Congratulations Angela.
