A story about growing up in the universe. A music video for the band Rendezvous, made February-March 2011. They pretty much gave me carte blanche to do whatever I wanted to do, and this is what came out. A long write up about it can be found here. You might find it interesting. bombsfall.blogspot.com/​2011/​09/​post-mortem-murph.html THIS WEEKEND: I will putting a short BEHIND THE SCENES video together, showing bits of how things were put together, etc. Nothing crazy in-depth, but enough to answer some questions I've been getting and maybe inspire others to do some similar stuff. So check back here, or add me on twitter/facebook to stay up on things. The links to both are at my blog or my site. Check out Rendezvous. They are super rad. The Murph single has a bunch of awesome remixes as well. rendezvousmusic.co.uk/​ I'm always up for freelance work, be it for agencies, studios, bands or whoever.

My graduation project for Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. A mixture of 3d and 2d traditional animation.

I combined everyday soap bubbles with exotic ferrofluid liquid to create an eerie tale, using macro lenses and time lapse techniques. Black ferrofluid and dye race through bubble structures, drawn through by the invisible forces of capillary action and magnetism. Time-lapse sequences: Nikon D90, Nikkor 60mm macro lens and custom built intervalometer. Motion-control: Arduino driven scanner platform and mirror rigs Score: Ableton Live View Compressed 01 vimeo.com/​22866665 Twitter twitter.com/​kpimmel
