1st Class

The class was exciting today, we got together and just did a little introduction to get things started, fortunate for me, like most times, I had to be the first to go off about my name, major , and yada-yada. So I didn't have a clear mind of what I was going to say. We began to discuss films that had the use of time motion and things that would help us in the class or what we would be doing. A couple people sparked my memory and I remembered an Aphex Twin video by Chris Cunnigham, "Rubber Johnny". I was introduced to the video Years ago, my friend even said when it first came out it scared people all over, it was just out f this world and I want to share it with you.


This short film was released in 2005, and Chris actually stars as Johnny Rubber.. not sure if he actually looks like that in real life..I believe the scared dog in the film is actually Chris's . The music is also by Aphex Twin.
( * little warning, the video's audio might be off *)

Aside from the class, my friend sent me this link to some really interesting jewelry that fascinated me and I'm sure it will fascinate others.


Later in the day, made me even happier, i attended a lecture given by Will Vinton
He does those Raisen commercials and the PJs and the Nisane commercials in claymation. Ah but that's all I have to say about now..I suppose..
