Behavior

lacking a camera, i decided to do a short animation in photoshop. it took me a few days to search the internet for just the right pictures and music to collage together and form this silly piece entitled "behavior". like almost all of the films i make, the project started out with no real concept, but developed into a film with a theme. with this improvisational filmmaking, it's not as easy for the work to become stale. this stop-motion animation was made with photoshop (composing each frame, color processing, and halftoning), final cut pro (stringing the frames together), and shake (giving them film jiggle, brightness fluctuation, and film grain/scratches/dust). i'd like to thank brendan bellomo for compositing in a shot where i had animated the foreground but lacked a background at the time. sound was done in pro tools and audacity when i wasn't in the mood for pro tools. i'd like to thank the many people who contributed content to the internet. i'd like to thank mike hale, anya petrashen, and charlie mezak for support
