The Ink Monster Cometh

This video started out as an exercise to see what would result when I based a video on an abstract digital drawing I created a number of years ago:

Not all the geese got eaten on Thanksgiving, and the ones in this video seem pretty happy about having survived:

Here's a short animation showing an alien ship depositing its
"seeds" on a planet. Stuart Whitmore created the video footage,
and I added the sound track:

"Robot Lost" (animated music video)

Here's a music video entitled Robot Lost by the British band Idioverse. I especially liked the way the first part and the very end of the animation were done:

"A Scary Walk through the Woods"

Just in time for Halloween, it's a mildly scary music video I made with POV-Ray.

"Anomalous Incident" (sci-fi Music video)

I based this one loosely on the idea of an unknown alien entity visiting a remote orbiting power station (perhaps attracted by the power output). This is the first video for which I've used POVRay's radiosity feature:

"Robotic Mutation"

Here's an experimental animation from back in 2004 by YouTube member cyriak. Cyriak describes the video as "my animation degree film". I'd certainly give it an "A", both for the visual elements and the well-matched sound track:

A couple of raytraced music videos

Each features graphics created in POVRay. The first one, by FinHit is entitled Dawn of Ray:



And here's my latest, a sci-fi mood piece entitled Abandoned Outpost:

A Mother Deer Nurses her Fawn

Usually it takes some work for me to come up with an idea for a video. For this one, the material literally walked right into my backyard. I put some effort into writing the soundtrack, but the only way the visual portion could have been any easier would have been if a third deer had shown up and offered to work the camera:

100 Years Ago - "The Roller Skate Craze"

Back in August of 1907, film Pioneer William Selig released a short (and silent) film entitled "The Roller Skate Craze". As United States copyright on the film has since expired, it's in the public domain now. I recently took a crack at adding some appropriate music and sound effects. The video below is the result:



People skating and falling down on film ... 100 years later and still funny :) *

Spinning Silver Sphere

Here's my latest video, another animation for which I generated the frames with POVRay:



Basically the idea is that this spinning sphere (hence the title) is moving through a futuristic city towards a tower where ... well, you'll have to watch it to find out what happens there :)

I rewrote the music several times. I was pretty happy with the beginning and end right off the bat, but I struggled a bit with the middle part, trying to have it sync with what's going on visually, while still having a degree of consistency. *
