A VIDEO I MADE FOR STONESTHROW PRODUCER KNXWLEDGE
———–
“Flyinglizrds” from the album Hud Dreems. Video by RUFFMERCY, with footage by Ross Harris. 2nd beat in the clip is “Shuremng” from Hud Dreems. | vinyl: goo.gl/YTqqjY | iTunes: goo.gl/u9OXOM
I am thrilled to bring you this new music video directed by two of my current and former USC animation students- Yo-Yo Lin and Christine Barron! Way to go ladies!
It’s my birthday tomorrow, so I thought I’d post one of my films. This one is a favorite of mine. It was created in collaboration with my dear friends twins Lecie and Katie Williams and their kids. Their hubbies, Rob Waller and Paul Galiunas make some sweet special appearances as does lovely Andrea Thome. I hope you enjoy the psychedelic silliness!

The nine virtual sculptures underlying vitreous resulted from experimental setups by Robert Seidel for generating three-dimensional clusters of fibrous refractions, as well as the gravitational lensing of different volumetric and chromatic densities. Singular elements gravitate towards each other, accumulating in a gigantic sculptural system, where each entity exists with its own visual axis and vanishing point. The impalpable luminous formations create prismatic interactions between the ridges and plateaux of the main colours floating in front of the infinite violet background.
The multilayered, continuously expanding and decaying system is driven by semi-chaotic processes with localized impulses and their speculative chain reactions. In the spectrum of these possible movements, each singular sculpture becomes an integral component of the whole pictorial force-field. In its asymmetrical orchestration and multitude of spatial-temporal interactions, the abstract-organic images are close in appearance to the concepts of “moving paintings” and “living sculptures” Seidel develops for more than a decade now.
Originally vitreous was conceived as a media façade artwork of 80 × 24 × 14 Meters (Target City Lights, Minneapolis, USA, 2012). It later developed in a large-scale projection of 4 × 14 Meters (German Filmmuseum, Frankfurt, Germany, 2015). The short film released in December 2015 features a music score exclusively composed by Nikolai von Sallwitz.
I really can’t stomach most holiday TV specials, but the 1988 “Christmas at Pee Wee’s Playhouse” is spectacularly weird and lovely. This version of Grace Jones singing “The Little Drummer Boy” showcases Jones’s otherworldly beauty and yes, grace.
The Snow Miser/Heat Miser song from Rankin and Bass’ 1974 stop-motion special “The Year Without a Santa Clause” is super catchy and the art direction is a saturated masterpiece. From the pogo sticking demon elves to the Heat Misers flaming hairdo, this one is an original.
This adorably designed little film is psychedelic comfort food. The Super Mario style 8-bit soundtrack and the colorful bouncy characters inspire thoughts of cotton candy and weird stuffed animals. Note how the color pallette aligns with the newly announced Pantone Color of the Year 2016, Rose Quartz and Serenity.
From the vimeo description:
“The animated protagonists of the film “Greedy Germ” live in a microscopically small world.
They are organisms and germs, friendly and timid little creatures that help each other.
Oneday, however, a mysterious intruder appears and ruthlessly destroys their peaceful coexistence.
The story was inspired by students’ reflections on pressing issues, such as the subject of food safety. Through the example of the destroyed life structures of the creatures in the film, “Greedy Germ” wants to illustrate that obtaining power is always linked to having a direct effect on society. Abusing power as well as blindly following orders will inevitably lead to injustice.
The film aims to point out the significance of the actions of each individual and thus the responsibility they have for the next generation.”

“An Emo Nose” is a hyper colorful psychedelic animated tale of solitude and separation. I love Wong Ping’s character design and sense of timelessness in his animated movements. It’s just dreamy.
These two videos by Artist Mike Pelletier transform the grotesque beauty of motion capture glitches into a lovely and eerie otherworldly dance.
