I forgot to post this rather sketchy animation I did for TRNSMSSN. Accompanying track from an unreleased Just A Band demo – “The Light Fantastic”.

A bird? A plane? A carbon-neutral F-16 disguised as a friendly-alien-carrying UFO? Who knows?

Here’s another piece that showed at TRNSMSSN – “2012″; a piece that was inspired by the hardcore photographs that Boniface Mwangi (who makes us studio guys look like wimps) took of the violence that happened in Kenya after the 2007 General Elections.

I’m of the feeling that we haven’t learnt much from what happened (we still have internal refugees two years later), and there’s a general feeling that when we go back to the polls in 2012, it’ll start all over again because the people in charge (“Honorables” Kibaki, Raila and their friends) didn’t lose any of their family or property in the violence, they don’t see what the big deal is.

I fervently hope not. Fingers crossed?

Here’s the video I was talking about earlier – finally up on YouTube. First time working with a prime lens and available light only (who needs lights? Ha!).

I wrapped the longest music video shoot I’ve ever done (three days) yesterday – for Stan’s “Wangeci” – a single from his debut album “Kenya Debut”. Cool stuff – got some nice footage, made new friends, lots of light and color. I won’t edit it for a few weeks, so I can concentrate on TRNSMSSN (Aaaaaaargh! One week to go!); here’s screengrabs from the raw footage in the meantime.
