Yeah, it's a little corny but whatever. I have included a few pictures that I normally wouldn't because of the pixelation but I think the naivity works with the theme. 

Smile!

I have a lot of love for this little film, so I composed a score for it; something simple but with a hint of the good old shop-floor music we all know and hate. I know the title and end cards need a little work, but trying to get me to work a video editor is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube - it doesn't work. So if anyone wants to have a go at that, that would be great!

Sound is a little quiet, so turn it up and use headphones to get the best effect.

Shopping sounds are from the PD site: http://www.freesound.org/people/Tomlija/sounds/99566/

I had a go at editing this animation by Gyllenmaya for the Awkward collaboration.

I trimmed it down a little and replaced the "Click!"s with sound effects.

I got a macbook so I decided to fool around in iMovie. I had no idea what I was doing and so this is the result. I kinda like the atmosphere it has, with the awkward timing and sporadic clips. 

A satire of my own brain.

A drawing I had made when I was 8. It accompanied a story in which my brother and I found a new species of monsters on the planet Flopol. They ate tacos and wood.

I described it as 

"We saw a thing that was purple and green it had two eyes, sharp teeth, blue hair and no nose. It looked slimy. Then to our surprise it floated and grabbed us. I thought it was going to eat us."

I thought this would work well for the kids vs monsters collab because we need the drawings from the kids point of view. 

CALLING EVERYONE! LET'S START MAKING ART TOGETHER AROUND THE THEME OF CHILDHOOD!

We want to begin making records together regarding the theme of CHILDHOOD! For many of us Childhood is a time of pretend & playing with your imagination. So let's take this theme (which was contributed by RECorder van-gramsci) & see what we can create as a community. We could even end up making an entire Live Show around this theme featuring different Short Films, Music, etc.

You can contribute your RE: Childhood records to the collaboration here: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/897689

==

Here's how you can contribute to this collaboration:

EVERYONE: RECord yourself talking into a camera about Childhood & upload your video to the site. Some topics could be What do you remember most about your childhood? or What's your earliest memory?

PARENTS: Make art with your kids for this collaboration! You could RECord them telling a story or reacting to a story or character from hitRECord. Perhaps they'll create their own artwork. NOTE: Please only RECord your own children!

VIDEO EDITORS: Download footage on hitRECord regarding Childhood & start cutting it together into short films.

WRITERS: Write a story RE: Childhood.

ILLUSTRATORS: Draw a picture or create a character (or series of characters) RE: Childhood.

CURATORS: You can create & curate Albums of records from hitRECord that revolve around this theme.

NOTE: Since Marcel Proust's novel "A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu" is in the Public Domain, we could also remix the text for this collaboration. Perhaps we could select a sentence from this novel about childhood & make a short film out of it. How else can we use this novel as a resource? Let us know!

Additional information on the novel can be found here: http://www.metafilter.com/115084/Marcel-Prousts-A-La-Recherche-Du-Temps-Perdu

Thanks Again!

What's more creepy than a giant rat? IT almost looks half human. Like a were-rat

Not entirely happy with this, seems like something needs to be added.
