graphic design, comics, photos, movies, hip hop, & things that don't matter
January 8th marks the 2 year anniversary of the Cooking with Wilber series! Originally posted on my older, now-defunct website, I figure I’d give them another chance to shine. Here’s the one that started them all.
I’ll be posting the others over the next couple weeks!
Early in 2010, LA-based band Shaimus approached me and asked if I would be willing to animate a music video for them. I was honored to do so. It took me about 8 months, hundreds of photos, a cross country flight, gallons of Jamesons, and no less than 50 crashed Flash sessions, but I did it. Without further build up, here is the fun stuff:
This was an incredible learning experience. Shaimus, thanks for the opportunity! I’ll be billing you soon.
Your sitting in your living room, watching basic cable television, as per your nightly routine. You have a loved one or pet curled up next to you on the couch. There is a noise outside; shambling, moaning. You ignore it. Must be some sort of vermin. A raccoon, maybe? Suddenly, there is a thumping outside your door. It starts off rather dull, but steady. The thumping turns into knocking turns into slamming. You wonder if your door can handle the strain. Your loved one or pet has run off. You shout for them, but the sound of moaning outside drown out your cries. You go to investigate the front door and almost puke everywhere when you find a pack of slime-coated, crusty, little ghouls – armed with an insatiable hunger. They yell out “trick or treat!” You give them some candy and return to the couch.
Halloween is in less than a week and you need to get into the mood! Deranged serial killers aside, not much says “Halloween” like zombies. There is a wealth of undead material out there waiting to pounce you, but there’s a lot of rotten stuff out there. You have less than 7 days, here is what you need to get your grubby hands on. It’s time to cram for Halloween.
