another awesome short.. and you always managed to pair your work with great music, love it.. funny what the short’s theme is about, a friend once joked about what he wanted done with his body when he died, he said he didn’t want to be buried six feet under, he didn’t want to be cremated, he wanted to be marinated…

Wow, the Ventolin orchestra sounds like something I want to be a part of!

I like it a lot! I've subscribed to your channel (I'm Sthemingway on YT) and commented on the video. .-= sitting pugs´s last blog ..If Johnny Unitas and Michael Jordan were all shook up =-.

I agree that the comic work 'always convey a sense of silence, of deadpan-ness.' Not much music comes to mind when I look at the images, thats for sure. With the animation though, I think it works. I like the difference between the style of illustration and the music - and the animation is quite quick - the music works for this reason also. Each rubs of against the other. And jangly music is good for the soul. .-= Sean´s last blog ..Shutter: context and navigation. =-.

Hmmm, I have to say I didn't like the music. To me your comics always convey a sense of silence, of deadpan-ness. The jangly music was jarring. .-= The 327th Male´s last blog ..Xenophon’s Wager =-.

looks cool to me fella - and the music is excellent; goes together like beans and (well done) toast, or goats and cheese - you know, all those wonder, wonderful things. And balls and scratching/s. Shit, it goes well together like a whole heap of things! So whats for supper? Best, Sean. .-= Sean´s last blog ..T-shirt. Bondi Junction. Sydney. =-.

Ventolin sounds more like musical instrument air con to me.

Thinking about it some more… I might do it as a Flowfield short too… it will be fun…

I like to take my time matching up the images to the music… That said, similar to the comment I just made about themes, music tends to match up to almost any moving images.

One of my favourite pass-times is to put on the 24-hour news channel, (BBC News 24), turn off the sound and put my mp3 player on random. Most of the time the images and music synchronise, albeit in often surreal compositions.

Thanks,

I do like themes… although when you think about it everything is themed by its very nature of existing.

Try it… pick two distinct things and lets see if we can link them in just one step…

Funny you should mention that too… This one is being converted into a long-form animation, codenamed ‘big dumb monster’ right now… I’ve been working on it for a while, but it’s slow going…

It’s a homage to my favourite giant monster movies.

Woah! that was a cool animation! Yeah, I agree. The music goes really well with it

Lovely animation. The music goes very well with it. And I love how you tied so many breathing-related things together in today's post. Perhaps the cigarette and the asthma inhaler can be a duo of antithetical animations, one trying to take our breath away, one trying to give it back... .-= Erika Hammerschmidt´s last blog ..Abby and Norma #506 =-.

or maybe a quick flurry of people and dust that leave a cabin in its wake.

By: Adam

Good call… I think I could do that.

I’d probably have to add a step in there… small tree, big tree, tree stump, cabin?

i think that the ‘things progress’ comic from sept 7, 08 could make a cool animation.
