I'm working on a big 9-minute follow-up to "Learning to Fly", but it won't be ready till next summer. Meantime, here are some shots from my trip in August to California's White Mountains and Yosemite, all shot on the Canon 5D2.

These are sequences from my first film - "Southwest Light" - currently in production. If anyone happens to know a good producer or production company who might be willing to help shepherd this film to completion next Fall, I would really appreciate an introduction. Much thanks!

(Music is Michael Stearns. My sincerest and most humble admiration to Ron Fricke and Mark Magidson.)

Bon Iver first tried working with voices only, after Sean had talked about Grizzly Bear’s Take Away Show, about their a cappella performance of "Knife" in the streets. Justin asked his two pals to try the same thing on "For Emma". A ritornello on two octaves for Sean and Mike, accompanied by snapping for the rhythm: that would be just enough...

These guys are fantastic. Their music is soulful and personal. They live in the same town as me and one day I was going to make a portrait of Adam but ended up with too many images so I put them together in a slide show they could see the work. It only seemed appropriate for me to use their music.

"The life of a scarecrow changes when he decides to become friends with the birds"
This short film has been internationally acclaimed and received numerous awards since its premiere (including a pre selection to the Oscars)
This is not the final cut that was released, voices and music are not the final versions.
I was in charge of the creation and design of the characters and backgrounds, the storyboarding, the animation directing and the editing.
It was made mixing 2D backgrounds with 3D modeling into a false 3D environment in After Effects.

There´s a deeper approach to technical matters and "behind the scenes" (in English) at my web:

This video is apart of an investigation into dreams.

Color is as much a symbol as is the imagery in a dream. Color appears to represent the emotional conditions that stimulated a dream or dream image. As with any other symbol, color combines with the imagery to form a more complete "meaning" for the dream image.

Shot using a Canon HF100.

AntiVJ has been working on a new format for French retro-futurist electronic producers Principles of Geometry. Using stereoscopy (technology used in IMAX cinemas to watch visuals with 3D glasses) they produced a 50min long real-time journey through space. An exciting experience and a real visual counterpart to the band's space/epic soundtrack.

Obviously you can't see the 3D effect on a regular computer screen, but we're touring with a special screen, so come and see the show to experience the Depth of 3D stereoscopic visuals.


Music: myspace.com/principlesofgeometry
Visual production: Simon Geilfus, Joanie Lemercier, Desaxismundi.
Produced with support from Arcadi.

Upcoming shows:
- Nov 14th – Belo Horizonte - Brazil
- Nov 17th – Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
- Nov 19th – Sao Paulo - Brazil

- April 2010 - Paris
