Whenever I feel compelled to divert my posts away from my own work, I'd like to think that it's to share something above average. Not a mere viral video, but something that showcases true creativity. Enter the trailer for the Beatles Rockband game.
I've immersed myself in the music and history of the Beatles since my early teenage years - to say they're my favourite band is an understatement. This trailer, which is technically the intro to the game itself, is a beautiful animation! The execution and transition through Beatles trademark moments is mesmorizing and incredibly clever. It's a must see . . . I can't wait to pick up a copy for myself. Damn those clever advertisers making me want this even more! Enjoy!

Siblings 2 (2009)
It was a comedy that more than any other short I had made, seemed the least likely to ever have a sequel. Strange how it was that single limitation that sparked the idea for the follow up.You'll have to watch Siblings, the beginning of the story if you will, to fully appreciate the departure that part 2 takes - this won't really make sense otherwise.
As you can imagine, this was a fun shoot. My sister seemed to enjoy the new twist as much as I did, even if she was the one getting the bumps and scratches in the process. Without giving anything away, I'll just say there were numerous times she fell out of character - for obvious reason (see the outtakes below).
You can see a big difference in the look between part 1 and part 2. Things were intentionally a bit more drab this time, not nearly as green as in the prime weeks of summer, but we did go through the effort of finding the same clothes we wore in the first video. Not quite as easy as you might think as the original Siblings was shot close to a year ago. It was mostly just a matter of digging out my old red hat again.
Thematically, this follow up plays off even more like a music video than the original. The punchline this time is the fact that there's even a sequel to be seen. It looks good though, and we're still not taking ourselves too seriously. Enjoy the sequel we never thought we'd make, Siblings 2!

Disneyland Ticket

For a small ticket that sat in my pocket for most of the trip, it's nice to have something tangible to remember the experience. The Tower of Terror had just opened in Disney's California Adventure Park, which is why it was featured on our tickets along with billboards, commercials, and print ads. Just a little token from the Happiest Place on Earth.
