This past January I participated in the annual Fun-A-Day art show. The event takes place in cities across the country and the only requirement is that participants create one art piece per day for the entire month of January. For my project, I created a daily animation based on the most notable thing that happened each day. At the end of the month I had thirty-one very short films that I stitched together into a silent movie that was shown on a loop at the Rock Paper Scissors Gallery in Oakland.
For the web version of the video, I asked my friend Carl W to help with a soundtrack. I was basically asking for Carl's interpretation of my interpretation of my month. It could have been a huge mess, but Carl came through with a big song that gives the animation some emotional depth. Slam dunk.
UPDATE: Here are some pictures from the show on February 4. (Photos courtesy of Nick L, the show's curator):
Web-worthy!

This is great. I have an idea! Good Vibrations Indie Erotic Film Festival (IXFF) in San Francisco is looking forward to our 6th year and I would love you to submit one of your short films to our competition! The deadline is June 30th and submission is free. Please check it out - www.gv-ixff.org - the audience choice winner gets $1,500 - that's a lot of submarine sandwiches!
