The Sky Is Shining

Well, another day, another rotoscope. Hey, I could go back to doing covers of Bee Gees songs if you don't like it! Yeah, I thought so.

Anyway, this one is from the interview scene in The Shining. This was always a favorite of mine and my friends in Philadelphia. In fact, this is pretty much inspired by an old buddy, Harry Arnold. We knew this movie inside and out to the point where we could perform a Burroughs-esque cut-up version of the film from memory. This vignette, I think, was one of them.

Incidentally, Harry now owns Darling's Coffeehouse & Cheesecake in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. Figured I'd give him a plug, though I doubt he has the time to read this (he sells a lot of cheesecake).

Anyway, hope you enjoy the silly short. Click on the image to view it.

Whatsamatta U?

Maybe I should find something more constructive to do with my life, but in the meantime, here's another rotoscope video, based loosely on the number of times Robert DeNiro asks the question "What's the matter with you?" in the film Goodfellas.

The video seems more than a bit excessive, and it's making me question my sanity that I would spend my entire day doing this. Oh well, either I'm a budding genius, or, in the words of my analyst, "the merry-go-round broke down".

Either way, you probably shouldn't play this too loud at work as there is a bit of profanity involved.

Yeah, Jimi!

Since it's the Humpday of "Annoy Your Cubicle Neighbor Week," I decided to help you guys out a bit. This is another rotoscope that I did. It's a clip of Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop festival. I put this Banana Splits-type background behind him, slowed him down and looped him for maximum annoyance potential. All you have to do is, after downloading this, play it back on Quicktime with the "loop" function turned on. This way, it will play FOREVER! I guarantee it will drive everyone around you totally insane. Just make sure your cubicle is bulletproof.

Have fun!
