I'm a director, animator and filmmaker guy. I've made lots of music videos and short films. I have 20 awards to my name because that sounds impressive to people who might give me work. Kanye West blogged about me once but he blogs, like, loads of things everyday so I don't know if that even matters.
Nice example of tense, cinematic, realistic computer animation that does things in a way that probably would be a lot more expensive doing it for real. via @davidcleary
“Drawn by the radio and TV ads of the twentieth century, which had reached them as faltering wisps and cobwebs of communica-tion (yet still full of a mysterious, alien vitality), the New Men had invaded Earth in the middle 2100s. They were bipedal, humanoid -if you stretched a point — and uniformly tall and white-skinned, each with a shock of flaming red hair. They were indistinguishable from some kinds of Irish junkies. It was difficult to tell the sexes apart. They had a kind of pliable, etiolated feel about their limbs. To start with, they had great optimism and energy. Everything about Earth amazed them. They took over and, in an amiable, paternalistic way, misunderstood and mismanaged everything. It appeared to be an attempt to understand the human race in terms of a 1982 Coke ad. They produced food no one could eat, outlawed politics in favour of the kind of bureaucracy you find in the subsidised arts, and buried enormous machinery in the subcrust which eventually killed millions. After that, they seemed to
fade away in embarrassment, taking to drugs, pop music and the twink-tank which was then an exciting if less than reliable new entertainment technology.”
