Scar The Ant

Hey great news! I’ve been hired to direct my first music video! Here’s a (really) quick rough animatic I threw together.

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

The final animation will be done partially stop motion, partially hand-drawn and composited onto water colored backgrounds (in other words it will look way better than this animatic…)

Anyway, I’d love any feedback anyone might have, especially with regards to the clarity of the storytelling. It would be great if you could point out any specific points where it gets confusing.

The guy who hired me is named Blake Pullen and he is the lead man for a group he calls “Sonic Impulse.” If you like the song in the above video, you should definitely check out their website, and consider buying their album:

ROCK MONSTERS!!!!

I have finally put my Senior film project from college online. Enter the “Children of Stone” page to watch the video at high quality and check out behind the scenes footage, photos and concept art.

Thanks to everyone who made this movie possible. For those who I haven’t excitedly told, “Children of Stone” and “Moss: A Tribute” are going to be on TV. I was contacted by a TV station called Mhz Worldview. One of their programmers saw the animated intro to “Children of Stone” on YouTube and apparently liked it enough to want to put the entire film in their block of programming for children and teens.

Since I no longer have to waste my time and money with film festivals, I can also put “Children of Stone” up online. Here on dontmesswithdinosaurs.com I’ve put up a really high quality version, and I have also put it up on YouTube for your convenience and ease of sharing.
