Kaki King
Music Video
Stop Motion Digital SLR
The lead single from Kaki’s new album, Dreaming Of Revenge. The video was made without film cameras — it consists of over 5,000 still photographs shot on Nikon D30s. There are no special effects; all of the light trails were created by hand, with up to eight individual “light animators” flashing LEDs and flashlights on and off over a long (8 second) shot exposure. Over 650,000 views on YouTube!
Check out some behind the scenes action here.

Film Trailer
Super 16mm — 22 min Short Film
When Boris Durban loses a busload of mental health patients, he’ll resort to any means to get them back. With the clock ticking, he tries desperately to recover the patients, but his attempts are foiled. So, in his compulsion to deliver, Boris decides to fill his quota by enticing some unsuspecting civilians onto the bus. A window into the erratic world of mental health and the thin line between idiosyncrasy and insanity.

Wanted to see what we could make in the time it takes to smoke a cigarette. Editing took five minutes. We thought about putting an American Lung Association Logo on it and calling it a spec spot, but technically fish don’t have lungs.
