Latte?

Latte? from Michael glen on Vimeo.

Though it went out about a month ago, i thought it would be a good idea to post a record of my graduate project here.

Rather than write a description, I'm going to quote Justin from Motionographer.com here

"For Michael Glen’s final project in animation and interactive media at RMIT University Australia, he developed a unique and quirky look for his short film, “Latte?”

The narrative is a surreal tale of competition from the dawn of capitalism in the imagined Eastern European town of Annexia. The Borat-like pidgin English of the film’s stars and their obsession with outdated modes of “stylings” add to its weirdly charming brand of humor.

The credit sequence at the film’s conclusion gives you a little peek at the technique Michael used to create his characters."

Earthcore and Renaissance Festivals

The last couple of weeks we've been trekking around the countryside to outdoor festivals. First one being Renaissance Festival, a 3 day event where we braved some hostile weather to put on a show. We created the weatherproof V-cube - a kind of marquee tent set-up with 3 projectors inside rear projecting on to the walls to be seen from outside.

This was followed by Earthcore, one of the largest dance festivals in Australia. Playing for a few thousand people was definitely worth the 6 hours of driving.

Tetrachroma at Federation Square

Here are some images of my most recent performance. This one was a commission from Federation Square as part of the Urban Screens 08 conference in Melbourne. The brief was to create an audio and visual performance to engage the theme of water (a scarce resource in Melbourne at the moment).

Alongside my colleague, Robert D. Jordan we created a system of MIDI percussion controllers to trigger audio and visual effects across a projection and large LED screen. We also found great use for a fish bowl, playing with egg yolks, olive oil and milk to get strange fluid effects through a live video feed in to our system.
