Back to roots

Cute and original short video that a student did for character design. It took me a while to find a video that I liked, I guess I was just picky today.

I want to get this blog back to its roots and do more art and indie posts. I’m going to try and do that more now that I’m out of school. At least that way I still have a creative outlet.

ps I’m not sure if the vendredi vimeo is going to work with this lay out, maybe I can come up with a better solution.

I heart Sockington!

The PEN Story from PENStory on Vimeo.

“This is the Olympus PEN Story in stop motion. We shot 60.000 pictures, developed 9.600 prints and shot over 1.800 pictures again. No post production! Thanks to all the stop motion artists who inspired us. We hope you enjoy Free download of the music at http://olympus.eu/penstory/”

DUDE! Its like a still motion within a still motion! I liked that not only did they do a still video but I liked how the presented it. That has become a big part of art now a days. What/where is the venue/gallery? How are you going to show case it? Traditional or unconventional? Its all up to you and how you want to show your work and that makes it all more interesting.

Herb & Dorthy is the the cutest documentary about a couple who collected art over the years. Their house is filled with all kinda of art, they don’t care what style it is just as long as they like it. What I liked about this cute old couple is that they got to know the artist, called them every week just to seek whats new and what they are up to. Here’s the trailer, unfortunately its only playing in in select theaters but I’ll be looking for it on dvd.
