Today we’ have the third short in The Ten Commandments series, number 7: Thou Shalt Not Steal. This one was a bit of a challenge. Banana’s aren’t exactly easy to animate. They don’t stand up. Who knew? But the sets were a lot of fun to make and we had a great time shooting this one. We hope you enjoy it: More commandments shorts are in the works. We’re 3 down with 7 more to go! -Justin The hard work and dedication of a handful of strong-backed volunteers (like myself) and skilled concrete finishers continues to produce a unique piece of art in a tunnel on Vancouver’s east side. Leeside is like a DIY sculpture project designed for skateboarding that’s constantly evolving. Here are some recent shots of the work we’ve been doing down at the spot over the last few months:
For some more info here’s a short documentary on Leeside produced by Thor Larson: LEESIDE IS AT CASSIAR AND EAST HASTINGS IN VANCOUVER. HERE IS THE GOOGLE MAPS LINK. -Ken Global Mechanic’s own Brent Bouchard brings us a series of really really short films that take place in a doctor’s office. The timing on these is really great. I’m fond of the horse one myself. Take a look at the first 3 shorts in the series: EPISODE 01 EPISODE 02 EPISODE 03 To see more of these shorts and some of Brent’s other work, visit his youtube page here or visit his vimeo page here (whichever you prefer). Be sure to check out his blog too. -Justin Hello all, This time we have sketches from Bruce Alcock, Nathaniel Akin, Michael Mann, Francois-Marc Baillet and Justin Longoz. More sketches coming soon! -Justin How dee, So there you have the basic layout of the set and some of the art room. The two are [...] Today we have the second short in a series of films we’re calling The Ten Commandments. This short illustrates commandment number 3: Keep Holy the Sabbath Day. We’ve managed to cram in a little bit of a topical theme this time. Can you figure out what it is? Duuuuh… Hope you enjoy it: Keep Holy the Sabbath Day was made by 1998 creative and was produced in studio by Global Mechanic. 1998 creative is: Chris Mckinlay, Justin Longoz and Patrick Beechinor. Stick around, we have more commandment videos on the way. -Justin I love fly fishing for Atlantic Salmon, which I sometimes do in Labrador. Woods, rocks, flies: this stop-motion sketch shows the 3 iconic elements of the place. Should be more flies really. Outdoor Stop-motion Sketch 01: Labrador from Bruce Alcock on Vimeo. http://yarnbombing.com/ (click to enlarge) This excellent street poster reminded me of the time I met Colonel Sanders. I was a kid, maybe 12 years old, on a family road trip from Newfoundland to PEI. We stopped at a kids’ summer camp locally known as a “tard camp” (yeesh), and there was the Colonel himself, hands resting on the cane, dressed in all whites and a good ol’ Tennessee string tie. Weird vibe. He was passing out tiny red plastic sculptures of himself, which I found very disturbing: his own set of avatars, poised to infiltrate rural Canada from the homes of developmentally delayed children. OK, they were banks: each tiny Colonel had a narrow slit in the top of his head. -Bruce |
