My newest video is out…
I’m proud of it - big production, good production values and it works on few levels politically. Also, kind of touching, really.
Huge production day yesterday for my biggest little political video production so far - coming tomorrow, photos later. I’m tired and I have a bid cough. And a bunch of my websites were hacked yesterday but that sort of thing happens.
MoveOn.org is having a contest to do an ad for Obama that’s thirty seconds. I’ve been flailing about for like three weeks trying to come up with a concept and I just fucking hated every idea I had. All very typical - kids, the future, and so on. The deadline just passed four minutes ago. I had a bad cough all day, I think my read is weak in some places and I threw together the edit in twenty minutes after going out to drop off my taxes. I came up with an idea today and this is it. It’s really raw but it’s also really honest and so for that reason, I’m proud of it.
Here’s the video I co-produced for Brave New Films, with great character design and main illustrations by Kirk Anderson, additional illustrations by Patrick Bobllio and lip sync animation by Dave Ciaccio. The awesome voiceover is by Alan Berhoft. I did a bunch of stuff on it - concept, co-scripted, edited, animated and things like that. Thanks to Brave New Film’s Paris and Leda for all their hard work on this, too. It’s supposed to get a big rollout next week.
This is the piece that was mentioned in the Los Angeles Times article last week.
If you want to get a detailed, extremely well put together look at the Hillary Clinton / Bosnia story / stories - watch this from Talking Points Memo and make up your own mind.
My frequent collaborator Alan Bernhoft’s new music video. Baa.
My latest video for Barely Political.
