TV, "Sims 3 Remix"
Following Addictive TV’s recent Hollywood movie remixes including Slumdog Millionaire, Fast & Furious and the blockbuster movie version of Max Payne, the hugely successful computer game; Electronic Arts, the world’s leading independent developer and publisher of video games, have asked the London based audiovisual artists to remix the much anticipated Sims 3 game for its June 2nd release.
Shiny Object, "Lollapalooza 2009"
Running through the daunting Lollapalooza lineup is always a lengthy affair, so we’ve taken it upon ourselves to back it up with energetic narrative animation and an unabashedly ADD approach. Special thanks to Tequila Mockingbird, Doug Davis, Gibson Guitars, Hung Le, and Steve Lewis.
Created by Shiny Object with music mash-up by Car Stereo (Wars).
Psymbolic,
KiloWatts, "microtakeover"
microtakeover is an exploration of the small vastness of life. An expression and indirect communication that intends to let the viewer experience however many levels of size and the causation that space defines.
microtakeover was conceptualized then created by means of animation, compositing
and programming. The video was then transferred to KiloWatts to design the
audio around then sent back to Psymbolic to make final edits. This creation
method was flipped from their usual creative process. Psymbolic usually
approaches creating video to be synched realtime to future audio and KiloWatts
usually creates audio as a track to be a part of an album and/or performed
live at events. visit

Schlitter, Ha Ha Tonka, "Caney Mountain"
A music video treated like a storybook fairy tale, the song Caney Mountain is loosely based upon a legend of the Ozarks involving a preacher who managed to sway an entire community with his gift of tongue. However, he eventually betrayed their faith by drowning a young girl in a nearby Ozarkian river. The story brought to life here is a merger of live-action and still photography, as well as a small amount of 3D work, blended together using various animation techniques. The process involved months of storyboarding and character development, as well as a heavy amount of color theory and a specific focus on the realism and limitations of an actual pop-up book vs a 'fantastic' pop-up book that was free to take on a more limitless, magical range of visual possibilities. This was inevitably the angle that was taken, as the story is actually being visualized from within by the magical suitcase itself.
