A still image from the opening scene for my animated music video, ‘Dead All Along’ performed by Welsh musician Ceri Frost.

Here is the revised treatment for the music video.

Logline: Enchanted by a fairy and transformed into a faun, a child called Yorick briefly journeys in the fairy kingdom, but when Yorick returns to his family he discovers that he and his family are already dead.

This is based on the myth of Tir Nan Og, an alternate or parallel universe, a place where time stands still and there is no sickness or death. The fairy kingdom is said to be a hilltop one, but invisible, or composed of magnificent underground cities. Fairy kings and queens rule there. Humans who enter the fairy realm cannot leave once the door closes behind them. Those who do leave may find that years have passed on earth during what was, for them, but minutes in the fairy kingdom.

I’m working hard on finishing this up this weekend so that it can be shown at UCLA’s PROM, the Animation Film Festival, on June 6th :)

Above is a still image from my mini Flash game “Marooned.” This is a point and click style game. The object of the game is to help Mr. Chip find a way off the remote island. Click on the above image to play the game.

Both music tracks in the game are by the brilliant Welsh composer Ceri Frost who I was really fortunate to be able to work with again on this project. Ceri’s music is the inspiration for this mini-game.

‘Marooned’ was created at the UCLA Animation Workshop and was made with Photoshop and Flash. This is my first flash game :)

Thanks to Ceri Frost, Lynn Okimura and my UCLA Flash class.

More Dream animation stills from scene two of my short film. This is from the latest render of my loose narrative, music video/short film that I have been working on at UCLA this quarter. The music is by the amazingly talented Welsh composer Ceri Frost.

This film is a combination of TVPaint, Flash, hand drawn, hand painted, and Photoshop elements put together in After Effects. This film is almost finished and should be complete before January :)
