kittens, space, axes

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the Aleks and the Ramps album launch. it was a great night. there’s some footage of the night that i’ll post up when i can. if you’re unfamiliar with the ramps you should go edumacate your self. they’ve got a new clip which is pretty fantastic and just happens to share a few themes with my clip for faux pas‘ track coach. while i can’t really overtly claim it’s plagerisation, i certainly can insinuate it.

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE:

i know now some of you might think this whole thing’s a trick, that they are both obviously exactly the same video, but i promise you there are some subtle differences. It might help to watch on a larger screen…

and if you want to do that you can! because COACH is going to be screened through out july at fed square in melbourne thanks to a competition curated by the portable film festival. it’s fun news, coach has been pretty underground since its creation. so if you’re around melbournia between July 15th to 25th go and see it debut daily for ten days … i don’t mean you should go see it all 10 of those days. just the first day. and the last day. and the day right in the middle. and the two days between the first day and the middle day and the middle day and the last day. then arrange yourselves into human sculptures to represent the screening times you’re attending. tearing it’s debut from the 4th dimension into the 3rd with little forethought to the dire consequences for the cosmos. that would be an apt debut… Continue reading kittens, space, axes

feedback bugs

for the last few weeks i’ve been working on a clip for melbourne band cuba is japan.  they make sorta soundtracky, interesting music.  it’s really great stuff to work with visually… it’s great stuff in general.  i’ll put a video sample up once my internet is dethrottled.  it’s a fun project to have been working on too.  broken into three sections, the clip starts with bugs coming out of cocoons, continues with bugs flying and ends with bugs dying.  my job was the begining and end with the flying bit in the middle being animated by another robert elsewhere in australia.  it’s all being pieced together by various animators, illustrators, director/producer/editors and new zealanders via the wonders of the internet… and snail mail.  when i post a video about this i’ll put up a run down of everyone involved and their particular claims to awesomeness.

in other news: ZEAL RETURNS TO THE STAGE!

and this is going to be something special. why?  because: ZEAL IS PLAYING WITH ALEKS AND THE RAMPS AT THE JADE MONKEY JULY 9TH!

aleks and the ramps with mixylodian and zeal

it’s difficult to explain how exciting this is.  i’ve wanted to play with aleks and the ramps for years.  so come!  it’s my first gig in 6 months!  hear the new album!  watch my new guitar hero max patch in action!  see my audio/visual spectacular of which the visual component isn’t quite complete!

ok.  that’s enough for now.

bob.
