Some old video: “Faces”

faces all around me

faces all around me

Got an email from my friend KellyAnne (visit her kool-ass site, Koolass.com! It’s totally kool-ass!) who was asking me about a video that I did a loong time ago. So I thought I would share it with the people who might be checking this site out.

So around 2001 I was in between jobs (this was around the time of the dot-com crash), and I had some time to kill. I put together a couple of interesting projects, one of which I mentioned previously: Dictionaraoke. Another project was just a bunch of Flash videos for some random strange songs. One song, “Faces,” was lifted from an old Sunday school flexi-disc and just screamed to have a video made for it.

So I dutifully drew faces as described in the song. Happy faces, sad faces,
bored faces, etc., and threw it all into Flash. I was just making stuff up as I went along, and didn’t even have an ending for the video until I actually started to put it together.

So what was the ending? Well, have a look for yourself and see.

A couple other videos can be found at the video section of Legnog.com, a site that seemed like a real funny idea at the time but basically became a huge chore and not-at-all fun once I started working on it on a regular basis. Not like THIS site at all. Oh no.
