Office Cat and Fish - Time For Coffee from Monkey Tennis Animation Studio on Vimeo.

These two unlikely colleagues are sitting in the office doing over-hours. Bored and frustrated by a software that keeps crashing only a strong cup of coffee can help now…
We highly enjoyed working on Office Cat & Fish and it quickly became a darling project of the studio.
It was as well a great project to test our fur setup, and bring that to a level we were happy with.
A tactile feel of the characters was very important for us.

Team:
Monkey Tennis (Mikkel Okholm, Frederik Storm, Adrian Walt, Ian Otto), Victoria Durand, Geoffrey Rakotoarisoa, Edith Bach & Pedro Ivo Carvalho.
Thanks to the Open Workshop, Thomas Richard for Sound Design and Laura Büchert Schjødt for doing the cat sounds.

One Hour of San Diego Surfing Time Collapsed: San Diego Study #4 from Cy Kuckenbaker on Vimeo.

This video was created from one hour of source footage shot from a bluff in San Diego the morning of Jan 21, 2014. I was interested in exploring the manipulation of water and to see how the movements and patterns from surfing interact. Watching surfing typically happens in one or two ways: in films/videos or in person standing on a pier, beach or bluff. In most surf films, the riders are so talented and the waves are so good it becomes an abstraction from the average viewer’s/surfer’s experience at an average break. On the other hand, watching in person can be very slow and depending on the swell there may be long stretches when nothing happens at all. This video is a playful attempt to split the difference and reveal just how much can actually happen in an hour in an otherwise nondescript surf spot with non professional riders. There are no CG elements, these are all real surfers and real waves with the time separating them removed. The video does not contain every wave that passed during the hour; I picked the best rides but otherwise tried to maintain chronology.

Midday Traffic Time Collapsed and Reorganized by Color: San Diego Study #3 from Cy Kuckenbaker on Vimeo.

I’m very humbled that the VICE Creator’s Project has covered this series with a new video: youtu.be/iioPicXsAFg

The source footage for this video is a 4-minute shot from the Washington Street bridge above State Route 163 in San Diego captured at 2:39pm Oct 1, 2013. My aim is to reveal the color palette and color preferences of contemporary San Diego drivers in addition to traffic patterns and volumes. There are no CG elements, these are all real cars that have been removed from one sample and reorganized.

Critical Living from Alex Widdowson on Vimeo.

The Philadelphia Association community houses attempt to offer the true meaning of asylum. These therapeutic communities are aligned with the Critical Psychiatry movement, questioning the medical understanding of personal distress.

Synopsis:
Critical Living draws upon the experiences of people involved in the Philadelphia Association therapeutic communities while also addressing some of the major discussion points in the Critical Psychiatry movement.

Critical Psychiatry, formally known as Anti-Psychiatry, has been scrutinising the dominant medical understanding of distress for over 50 years. It’s leading members were a disparate bunch that included R. D. Laing and David Cooper, both disillusioned psychiatrists and co-founders of the Philadelphia Association, as well as the renowned philosopher Michel Foucault, the libertarian Thomas Szasz, and Erving Goffman a sociologist.

Since creating a therapeutic community at Kingsley Hall in 1965, the Philadelphia Association has run more than twenty community houses which have offered asylum and hospitality to people in distress. This work continues at two houses in North London.

The experience of fifty years has shown that personal crises and seemingly inescapable unhappiness may for many people be transformed in households like these. They are places where people can come together to address their difficulties in a situation of shared everyday living.

Synopsis:
Loosely following a traditional Passover Seder, the events of Exodus are retold by Moses, Aharon, the Angel of Death, Jesus, and the director’s own father. But there’s another side to this story: that of the Goddess, humankind’s original deity. Seder-Masochism resurrects the Great Mother in a tragic struggle against the forces of Patriarchy.
