Feral Television

1990

Televisions are noble, wild creatures living an idyllic lifestyle in their natural mountain habitat. They gambol and graze freely, entertaining each other with their vividly colourful visual displays. But what if they were rounded up and herded into the cities? If they were sold and rented out to anyone with the cash and desire for a video visual thrill? If their wild natural beauty was held captive and controlled by the push of a remote control button?

Phantom Requiem

2024

“Phantom Requiem" unfolds in the desolate expanse of an abandoned factory, where shadows and silence are the only remnants of a once-thrumming industrial heartbeat. In this spectral setting, a coterie of puppets emerges—ethereal figures, each step and gesture echoing the dissonant unraveling of a viewer ensnared in a psychotic fugue. Rendered in austere black-and-white, this stop-motion film marries the macabre grace of desolation with the intimate terror of mental dissolution, crafting a visual poem that is both stark and sublime

Dancing Beer Bottles

1965

Circa 1963 - 1975. This is possibly test footage or something for a beer commercial, or something for a variety show of some sort. Dennis Muren animated it with replacement animation. The same technique that was used with George Pal's Puppetoons and the animation of the title character with The Beast From Hollow Mountain (1956). In fact, this technique is used today from Tim Burton to Laika.
