Did you know:
in contrary of My Turn, where the concept was made initially for the live visuals, Feelings gone was pitched to Basement Jaxx for the video promo, and the shoes were just a part of it. Later they choosed another project to make it to a video, but they liked the idea of having the giant shoes as a visual. What can we learn from that? You can never know where your idea will end up? or something like that
some Sam Sparro sketches from Elena Pomares for the initial concept:

Wish you ‘happy’ november with my old graduation film.
It was first presented at the graduation show in 2006 in Budapest, then staying in the drawer for almost a year. In 2007 – thanks to a friendly deal with Woodwork music – a renovated version went out to the festival circuit, and the film tour started in Stuttgart ITFS, gaining immediately a special mention. The film was on for almost two entire years, getting more than 20 prizes and special mentions throughout the european festivals, including a Cartoon d’or nomination in 2007 and Golden Dove in Leipzig (2007). Then for a long time disappeared because of the uncleared music rights. Now is back thanks to a new agreement, and you can enjoy it online. Thanks again for everyone who helped this film, including my sounddesigner – Marton Nemeth aka El Marcee, the school: MOME , the artist behind the music Murcof and his label who let us use his creation with the film.
Just so you know, back in 2005/2006 I was working on SD so there is no HD version…
PS the new ‘creation’ will be premiered in London BFI 26.02.2010 during the NFTS graduation show
Basement Jaxx feat Lightseed Champion: My Turn video

this is the link to the official youtube video
the video on my vimeo
and now enjoy it from my youtube account in HD:
It was a heavy week of working to transform the idea from a live visual to a video promo. Lightspeed Champion had to be included, so needed to find a way to work together the animation and the live action part. The process included people like: Toby Jackman on character animation, Annika Summerson cinematography and Bence Varga as SFX.

The long waited new visual (made in august) is now here to watch. (or on a concert)
as a result of a few weeks of researching, shopping and walking. Again I could write long hours about the concept, but who cares, it s a visual for a gig! This time Elena Pomares was helping me with animation.
I must say although I am not a fashion designer, but had quite a fun coming up with ideas for eclectic animation shoes…
Launching at the end of this year, a new hype in Cracow, personal-present advisory ‘dary mary’. It s to help people find or create any kind of presents, from funny sudden events to self made virtual creations. Logo design just finished, was based on the name dary-mary, which is a mixture of several worlds of meaning: hocus-pocus, gift, desire.
aka how to wrap after a mini greenscreen sesssion.
wizzard samba with Lightspeed Chamnpion after a Basement Jaxx shooting. I d suggest more the second half. This was first time for looong years I was involved in live shooting. The ‘real’ results later…
