This is seriously great – an awesome short, I am sure that Ting Tey, who specifically had to mention on this video’s vimeo page that he does NOT work for Pixar, will soon find himself an employee there, if he so chooses.
This one has the unique pleasure of being one of the first shorts I enjoyed with the Vimeo app on my AppleTV.
Memory Map is a bit of a super band for me. Featuring Mike Dixon, Mike Bridavsky, and two fellows I don’t know, this band seems to me to be the band that should have always existed, but until recently never did.
Some seriously great stuff from some seriously great guys in Bloomington.
A few weeks ago there was a day that seemed to be “Remember Mara’Akate Day.” In addition to the used bin review I posted last week, my friend Derek (formerly of Mara’Akate, currently of Phoenix Bodies and many other bands) also came across vimeo user The Sin in Grey’s video of Mara’Akate’s set at the University of Connecticut from our Winter 2002/2003 tour. I remember it being a great show, but I don’t recall why we decided to play Wolfenstein 3-D five times.
We played a few shows with Transistor Transistor on that tour, and I’d be remiss to not include their set from the same show as well.
I watched this recently with my son, and I have to say, it is quite impressive. Zero, while containing a dark palette, is a well produced short.
I have to say it is impressive, I love the look, and I love the piece, but the ending left me feeling a little strange. Of course, that is probably the point.
I was fortunate enough to hear Neil Gaiman talk in Indianapolis, and it was enchanting, to say the least. I just backed this KickStarter project, and I recommend all fans of either artist do the same. For one dollar you can get a recording of the shows!
