Crazy 8's

The signature film for the Crazy 8's Filmmaking Extravaganza in Vancouver BC 2009. We were asked to create a montage of the films made in the last 10 years as part of this event.

The Montage was followed by a 6 minute documentary that gave a broader picture of the history of the event as well as the 'behind the scenes' for this year's films...

Music credits:
Solamingus- "Sho Can Wrap"
Gaudi- "Sufani" (Instrumental)
David Starfire- "Waffler"
as well as the audio tracks from the respective films.

DAK Showreel

Collaborations with Animator Aparna Kapur and Photographer Deniz Merdanogullari.

We've been messing around with paper, light, cut-outs, fireworks, cycles, light-cycles, fire blah blah since this summer. What started out with a broader 'cycle' animation has materialized into well... serious work!

Intervelometer

‘Intervelometer’ by DAK (Deniz Merdanogullari, Aparna Kapur and myself) was made at Trick 17- a 52 hour Stop Motion Competition. 17 teams picked themes, genres and other variables out of a hat on a Friday night, and had to submit a finished film by Sunday 10pm. We picked ‘Human’, ‘Wild Card’ (which gave us freedom to do what we wanted!) and a music track (which we had to use somewhere in the film).

Our film won ‘Best Picture’ at the competition and was featured on Motionographer a site that inspires filmmakers, animators and designers alike on Dec 4th.

‘Intervelometer’ attempts to explore the essence of animation (for us!)- Persistence of vision, light, human form and time. The film also pays tribute to Eadweard Muybridge, an iconic figure in both- Photography and Animation.
