Marvel Legends The Avengers Trailer
It’s been a while since we did some stop-motion animation and between our extensive action figure collection and excitement for the new Avengers movie we just couldn’t resist. So here it is… Marvel Legends The Avengers Trailer in all it’s action figure stop-motion glory! This video endeavor marked our first attempt at working with Dragon Frame, an excellent piece of animation software. Lots of frames, figures, green screens and some serious After Effects work. Shot everything with a Canon 7D and we’re pretty happy with the way it turned out. We also got to collaborate with the talented animation madman TJY . You can check out some more of his art at allthecolorsofthedark.com and if you’re into action figures like we are take a peek at orangeslime.com .
The Bad Vic and the Good Intentions Video EPK
Just finished up the space-aged video infomercial for the debut album of Bad Vic and the Good Intentions. Shot some performance footage of the band in their rehearsal space then did some serious geeking out with Bad Vic himself in After Effects. The band wanted things spacy to match their album artwork and we added a sort of 16-bit Sega Genesis look to it. The floating glass images were inspired by the Phantom Zone scene from Donner’s Superman and if you blink you might miss a few more comic references. We’re good friends with the guys in the band and hope this music takes off in this galaxy and beyond. You can download the album at www.badvic.com
