Spent most of my night making this. Looks like nothing but a bunch of random lines and circles but if you squint your eyes and look past it you can kind of make it out. It’s like one of those Magic Eye puzzles…

Opening v0.1
posted by Jamie P. at 12:32 am on March 31, 2009
Got a lot done with one of my side projects tonight. I was able to render out a rough motion final render for this opening sequence. I still need to do some texture work but this is slowly but surely coming together. I wish I had a team of interns to do some of the grunt work though…
Here is a screen shot of the opening.
Pnau - Baby

Pnau features some of the things that I really hate in music, the most offending/annoying being that of children choruses. But Pnau and their self titled album somehow continues to works it way into rotation in my playlist. Here is their first single off of their newest album.
You can get a HQ version over at No Fat Clips!!!
Metronomy - A Thing For Me

A Thing For Me from Metronomy on Vimeo.
I downloaded this last week but never watched it once it finished. While cleaning up and archiving videos on my desktop I found this and feel in love with it.

This is the new music video for Kid Cudi directed by So-Me who you most likely know from his work with Justice.
A little more 3D.

Okay so the test render finished while I slept a little bit. Turned out well I think, the object motion blur doesn’t look that great but this was just a test. Here’s a little more of a preview of this project. Now just imagine this with a bunch of paint flying all over the place.
…and this wasn’t the update/news. You still have to wait… for me to finish watching these Watchmen motion comics and actually finish it for you. In the meantime watch my video.
Red Fang - Prehistoric Dog
posted by Jamie P. at 5:36 pm on December 3, 2008
A couple of friends and I have a little game we like to play where we send each other the most horrible, funny, or disgusting thing we can find on the internet that day, each day trying to one up the previous. Meagan today sent me a cool music video for Red Fang, a local Portland band. The video is directed by Rob “Whitey” McConnaughy (who you probably have seen here and there behind the camera on the Jackass movies and does a lot of film/videography for commercials). This video definitely has a Portland feel with the beards, vintage t-shirts, and copious amounts of cheap beer (this time Tecate is featured more than the hometown favorite PBR). Though I have never seen any LARPers in any of the parks around town, I still would like to believe that this video is actually a documentary and set to Red Fang’s “Prehistoric Dog”.
Does anybody from Portland know what park this is?
GTA: Vice City, Kasabien and a Cosby sweater?

Kanye West released last week 808’s & Heartbreak which I have been slipping into my playlist consistently since I picked it up. His new album I think is really good and that somewhat surprised me after not liking most of his 2nd and 3rd albums. I have always admired Kanye for producing all of his own songs and his decision to simplify things and feature prominently the classic Roland TR-808 in this album is refreshing. While the music has been simplified in most of the songs his voice is Autotuned only a notch or two below unrecognizable. Even with all of these changes the biggest change is to the somber mood of this album. Most of his previous work has been about being number one in “the game” and other stuff that I can’t relate with at all and was best suited for coliseums full of people to sing along with (See “Touch the Sky,” “Good Life,” etc.). I don’t really see that many people singing along with “Streetlights” and “Welcome to Heartbreak”. And damn it that is the way I like it. Kanye manages to be emotional and voice his recent losses without sounding like a douche.
And no gunshot sound effects either.
Back to the point of this post. GTA: Vice City, Kasabien and a Cosby sweater. Those were the three things that came to mind when I saw Kanye West’s newest music video, Heartless. And some really choppy feeling animation which was either a choice or just really bad rotoscoping. (See the full post for comparison evidence.)
