The Professor Who Wasn’t There

 A brief meditation on a professor who really wasn't there at all.

My videos

So I haven't been here in a while. Just haven't had the time.

But...I guess I should start up again. Over the new few days, I'll be posting links to all my most recent video experiments.

Stay tuned :-)

My latest video...this one a little postmodern in that it talks about art and artist in an age of intelligent creations ...

Another little experimental video. I think this is a little more successful than the previous one, and I learned a great deal while making it (notably getting a better handle on having a picture in a picture).

Still, I think it didn’t quite work out as well as I’d hoped. The idea of a conversation between present, past, and future is an interesting one. But I’m not sure I completely pulled it off here. The meaning of the “future” framework around the major part of the story (my vide0) is just too obscure.

Still, it was interesting to make. (And yes, I really did have this talk with a friend.)

This may be the last of the purely experimental ones for a while. So, stay tuned for the next project...

Just a little meditation on the joys of being an obscure non-entity

Dedicated, with real affection, to those futurists who attempt to predict coming events to the best of their ability, regardless of who their prophecies might offend. And, with perhaps less affection, to those consultants who tell their clients only what they want to hear.

Plus, maybe, a little speculation on the capacity of ideology to blind us to peril.

And, finally, perhaps, some thoughts on the long term effects of the automation of white collar professions.

And part 4 of the Pucket Saga

And here, finally, is part of the Plucket saga :-)

And part 3 of the Magnificence of Rudolf O. Plucket!

I'll be interested in seeing how people respond to these. They are my very first attempt at story telling with limited animation. Clearly, I need a lot more practice before I get to the level of high-, middle-, or even low art. But, it is a fascinating experiment for me.

The Magnificence of Rudolf O. Plucket - Part II

My second attempt at telling a fiction as a multiple part, limited animation video. This is Part 2 of a four episode series.

Keep in mind, this is only an experiment...

The Magnificence of Rudolf O. Plucket - Part 1

Here's something quite new...

This is my first experiment at telling a fiction as a multiple-part, limited animation video.

This is part one. Parts two through four will follow.

Maybe not as close to the bone as my confessional pieces, but I’m learning a lot by doing them.

See what you think.
