Hello, RegularJOE here. HITRECORD is an open collaborative production company, and this website is where we make things together.
Writers, musicians, filmmakers, video editors, animators, illustrators, photographers, photo-shoppers... Wanna work with us?
I direct our community in a variety of collaborations. When one of our productions makes money, we split the profits 50/50 between the company and the contributing artists.
this glorious, victorious, spontaneous celebration took place shortly after the final screening at sundance 2010. i think the joy everyone was feeling, at that moment, is evident in this little clip. <3
I thought that Destiny and Morgan needed some outfits stupenda-fanciful enough for the Fall Formal. :)
Some of the characters of hitrecord, watercolours, coloured pencil, ink on paper. Please tell me if I forgot to resourse anyone.
An animated version (more like slideshow thanks to the low frame rate) based on my illustration for Sparksee05's "Tiny Breakfast", accompanied by Joe's reading of the tiny story from the HR show at Seattle. Any suggestion for music to go with this?
So... I have been thinking about doing an animation version of this for a while and the original plan I had was to do this over Christmas holiday (when I would have a chance to benefit from my brother's sagely advice). However that plan got thrown out of the window when the boss decided to freak us out by giving us with an invisible deadline :P
I don't know what possessed me to think that I could actually pull this off in such short time frame (1 and a half day), seeing that I have virtually zero experience in animation except for the few odd gifs I have made and the textbook-corner-doodle-animation I did when I was in primary school. The only way I know how to animate anything at the present time is to draw them out frame by frame so that's what I ended up doing and halfway through the process I seriously considered stabbing myself with my Wacom tablet.
Earlier today, Cacheth made an awesome animation of mirtle's drawing, for Dina and RegularJoe's tiny story. She asked if someone could add Pamagotchi's reading - maybe it would fit better with the girl - and so I did this.
The music is a wonderful "Virgin-Suicide-y" little piece by JeffPeff, I absolutely love it and thought it would fit well with the atmosphere (and the spaceship !).
I really am a beginner at editing things (I still use iMovie you know) (haha), so it's not perfect but I'm kind of happy with it. What do you think ?? :)
A few months back Matt [TheMorningHollows] and I were trying to work on a song based around this tune that Matt wrote. I never could get the vibe quite right, so it lay dormant for a few months. But I recently read Lula's "Puppycat" and thought HEYYYY THAT COULD WORK!
So here it is...a jazzy, raucous 1920's New York jazz club, smoke filled bar version of "Puppycat"
Would anyone like to add to it?!
Remixed Lula's poem/drawing a while back, and then thought it might go quite nicely with Joe's "Mommy and Me"....it would be cool if this could be added to..more voices, instruments?
