A Love Song for Love Songs - The Podumentary

Lovesong

What's this you ask?  A documentary?

Not really, rather, a podumentary.  That means I took the audio from one of my podcasts, and turned it into a little short film.  It was quite a bit of work, so if you enjoy it, please share it with your friends on Facebook or Twitter.

The title betrays how I feel about music, something that profoundly serves to both express and fuel human creativity.  The message of this piece is an attempt to celebrate music from a scientifically informed position, as well as portray the beauty that we humans bring into the Universe. 

Why does music rock so hard? What about it makes it endlessly interesting, utterly soul nourishing, and so thoroughly distracting from the work I'm supposed to be doing?

Come on in and enjoy a 'podumentary' you can dance to! We'll look at the value music has, where it came from, and why we should never stop wigglin' our butts.

Deflowering Ottawa

via vimeo.com

This is a spot I produced and animated for Virgin Radio in Ottawa, to be shown in Cineplex theaters during their digital pre-show.

Why am I posting it now, you may ask? Well, I just received word that the station has decided to put it on television. I'm shipping them a master tomorrow, and it should be on the air in Ottawa soon.

So watch for it Ottawa! I wonder if it will play during the rest of the Sens playoff broadcasts this year or.... oh wait, sorry.

Produced through my production company for Astral Radio.
Creative concept, design and animation by Goodspeed Productions.
Post sound by Sebastien Breton.
Mastering by Jasen Marks at Wanted Pictures.
