The Joy Of Text [Work in progress: Steampunk Girl]

Over the past few weeks I've been working on a new animation project: a kinetic typography video for Steampunk Girl, a song by musician John Anealio. I'll post more updates as I go. I'm discovering there's something immensely satisfying about animating with words.

You can discover John Anealio's music here.

Stop... Hammer Time! [I'll Be Your Thor]

Singer songwriter John Anealio has released this musical tribute to a certain Norse god/superhero. It’s free to listen or download and I thor-oughly recommend doing so, not least so you can find out what rhymes with “mjolnir.”



For more of John Anealio’s work including the awesome Steampunk Girl, transport over to the Sci-Fi Songs blog.

Trilogy III: Revenge Of The Return

I felt like having a rant about sequels, but it would probably just be an unimaginative and derivative cash-in reboot of a previous rant lacking the humorous charm and style of the original. Instead I recommend you head on over to Sci-Fi Songs, where John Anealio and Dale Case put this better than I ever could.

And yes, the poster is from a real film to be released this summer. What's the betting this one will have a shark in it? Still, beats Irish dancing...
