Yes the title is a song reference! ;)

But, it's also the moral of the movie films! :D

Many thanks to May for challenging me in this one!

I couldn't find the 'I am tara' video to tag tara!

Many many thanks to the awesome musical talents that exist on hitRECord!

If all the talent was made out of chocolate... I would eat it!

Just a quick one this week, did this last week but only managed to render it out today! It is a quick animated intro based (again!) on Marke's fabulous poster design and using a great track by Malicore. Hope some of you can make use of it in some form or another.

Combination of new and old classics.

Light of Day



This song is one of my favorites, simple and dark. Perfect for an epic movie trailer..

Stranger On My Land (2010 instrumental demo)


This is some of my demo material that I wrote after leaving my signed band, The Autumn Offering.


I'm hopeful that someone here can put some beautiful imagery to this for me...or add some of their own ideas.

Here's my 2 cents worth towards the 'The Man in the Herringbone Hat' collaboration. Started by animating the 'herringbone card' designed by steve rolston and then that kind of evolved into this opening title sequence. Hope you like.

Thanks to everyone for the resources, especially megan carnes for the track 'Sunday evening'.

Also thanks to Matt Conley for the link to www.archive.org (I never even knew it existed!), have used these public domain clips:

So what next....
I liked the idea I read the other day by Wirrow about the possiblity of this film being done in style simliar to Richard Linklaters 'A scanner darkly' - whereby someone films this story as best as possible (even if it's just with appropriate actors?) and then the footage is rotoscoped by us all, & the set & bkgrounds created by animation - hard work I know, but could look great!

The opening archive footage from these titles could be used a demo for this process if someone wants to give it go??!

First upload! Just experimenting with the hitRECord logo.

So I made a collab for this here http://v4.hitrecord.org/records/206335
So I was working on the script for this a few weeks ago, and was planning on sending it on to some festivals...Then I came upon this site and fell in love with it. Also I found May McDonough's amazing song "Riverside". Then I continued writing with the song in mind and it evolved into something much more interesting and the piece you see before you now. So now instead of sending it to film festivals I give it to you, the HitRECord community to do with as you please.

So REcut, REmix, REwrite, REvoice...Well do what this site is all about. Also if you want the opening scene without the text just let me know and I'll render that out and upload that separate.

The story and drawing are inspiring. I hope the inspiration continues with this animated version.

(Update: I would like to revise this to correct the dimensions of the video and to correct other things. I forgot to add back in the pool of black under the boy and some of the shadow under the robot. Plus, after watching a few times the movement seems too fast. I can also alter the speed at which the text appears so anyone wanting to do a voice over - if you could post the voice as just an audio result - don't try to match your voice to the text, just read it naturally and I can add that in and match the text up and then make the other tweaks.)
