An amazing video showing a young Ukranian woman telling a heartwrenching story about a couple torn apart by World War II using nothing but sand, a lightbox, and music. It’s mesmerizing and brilliantly executed.

Frozen Time

Frozen Time is a cool piece of short CG animation by Polish animators Paweł Rajch and Wojtek Sokołowski, created as a diploma project, set in 19th century Paris and falls somewhere between animation and a comic book, although thankfully not a ‘motion comic’ as such, more an animation where the time in some scenes is frozen and split screens appear taking the form of comics panels to show different perspectives and angles:

Blogging???

I am still playing with the format of the site. I want to keep it simple but have substance. I would love to showcase some of my work and the work of the very talented people/friends that I work with. I would like to discuss what an art director does and what happens in a film art department. I also want to talk about creative projects in general and provide inspiration for others to go out and create on their own.

If you have any suggestions about what else you would like to see, know about or how to make this site a better experience, please let me know.

Thanks-
