Thought I'd collect all my contributions for the Sundance 2012 Collaborations in one spot. More for my own ogranization, but fun to Feature on my page as we work towards the finish line.

Alright, so here is my little chunk for "and a new earth (reprise)". As i said earlier:


(4) lines towards the end of "and a new earth" (reprise). I was just working on Typography, but these visuals and movements struck me, so I had to make it all happen. Use it or not, I needed to get it out of my head. My little "narcotic moment of creative bliss."


When I envision "and a new earth" (reprise) I see the film starting smooth, to adjust the audience to the display, with a slower pacing of softer visuals in longer takes (easier to grasp and follow) but as the piece builds the pacing would increase and the visuals would become more and more chaotic... hence my treatment, because I would see these lines toward the end just sort of unfolding into each other. Make sense?


I'd love to hear what you think of it? Thanks <3


[Note: I still need to add the exact resources that I used from the eye & eye album... so many! haha]

(Hopefully, this upload works this time.)


2 lines towards the end of "and a new earth" (reprise). I was just working on Typography, but these visuals and movements struck me, so I had to make it all happen. Use it or not, I needed to get it out of my head. My little "narcotic moment of creative bliss."

I have ideas for the next 2 lines that follow these as well, but don't want to jump on those until I get feedback on these, and my envision, since they follow very closely in style/treatment.


What do you think?

Here's the other 1/2 of the small chunk I was playing with for "and a new earth (reprise)" I am going to upload the combined duo shortly, but thought I'd add this as a part for resource ease.

For MattConley's request/suggestion: ["* Take the clip of the Grandma (from the "Audition 3" resource) and add a grandma costume (bonnet, etc.) to give her more of a grandma look for that establishing shot. Personally, I think the cheesier and cruder the animation, the better."]


I was going to do something more colorful but too much detail or color took away from the actress and her little candid improv performance for the camera, which is too cute, so I kept it simple. Plus, the rest of this piece will be loud with color and detail anyways. Agree?


Feedback/Thoughts?


A side idea I had: Since it is pretty clean-black around her, maybe a fun handwritten "grandma" and playful arrows pointing at her too? But again, I don't want to add too much distraction from her cuteness, and the clip is so short, so maybe this is fine as-is?

Here's a little LRRH reMIX for you. I took cacheth's awesome "...the smallest snakes" added some "fruit"  and a knife from dreamcoach's illustrations, and my own wolf standing behind the bush, in the forest.


Thoughts? Maybe a little too suggestive? haha


[Low quality for review and suggestions, and I'll add high-res as needed]

And here's the image from the animation, in case someone else wants to reMIX it.

I made some "Once upon a time..." text from reMIXing sBo's awesome font creations. Thought it might come in handy for LRRH, or any fairytale RECords.

A colorful and cartoon-ish strawberry. Large PNG / transparent background. Kinda silly, but I think it's cute... if strawberries can be cute?

"Come, Little Red Riding Hood..."


The lips should sync with audio, they're the same frame rate, but let me know it they need tweaking ;^)

"Ow!" & "Ooo..." - Touch Me Nots


The speed/audio seems to have shifted slighting, but it is only for rough placement anyways and I'm sure you all can handle nudging the animation to match your audio ;^)

"ZZZzzzzzzz..."  The background floral pattern is actually my own grandma's wallpaper ;^)

New version. The last version's background was too detailed/distracting for how quick of a cutaway this will be, and the flower/characters looked WAY TO MUCH like Octopussies (hee hee) and not flowers. This is cuter, with the flower opening, anyways ;^)

NOTE: This is NOT on a black background, but an alpha channel (transparent). In fact, if anyone does use this, I think it looks the best on a white background ;^)

I know this is beyond late for a Sundance possibility, but when I watched Dr. Gory's video composition I knew that I really wanted to make my own version of "and a new earth…" (REPRISE) At least for my own animation and video editing practice.


Thank you to everyone for their amazing contributions, the hitRECord creativity shines throughout this piece. There were so many wonderful resources* to choose from and use.


This was a lot of work, especially touching up a lot of the text images to make them key correctly, but a lot of fun too. And I learned a lot through the work.


What do you think? Please post comments/crits.

I watched the LIVE streaming last night, and the show was really great!


I just wanted to express my entire awe with the hitRECord process; how these shorts were literally thrown toge...

UncoolMrV captured a great candid shot! I wanted to crop it in closer, and then I decided to add some more black space to play with for future reMixing and thought I'd share.


I like how the shadows look like they are holding hands.

A screenshot reMIX from an Independence Conversation with RegularJoe, Parker Posey & DaperDan.


This is kind of random. I was planning on making a more serious reMIX (at least in tone since they were talking about religion and all) but as I worked on it I realized it was Parker's quote that hit me the most from this clip, so I underscored that instead.
