These are realtime recordings, with me triggering events by tapping keys in time to the beat. They’re tests for some upcoming projects using OSC (Open Sound Control), a nifty protocol for getting many different kinds of realtime sound and video programs to talk to each other.

This video was my first try at rotoscoping, created as a projection for a dance performance. The character here is a corrupt judge receiving his karmic punishment–which I imagine here as getting flushed down into some kind of supernatural plumbing.

I love this little opener I created for the Pittsburgh public-access show Art of News. The jack-in-the-box was puppeteered with wire rods that I painted out in Commotion, which worked out so well I’ve been looking for an excuse to do it again ever since.
