Addictive TV, "Slumdog Millionaire Remix"
Meticulously sampling “Slumdog Millionaire” for its vibrant sounds and images, and reconstructing them into this fast-paced audiovisual remix, Addictive TV were asked by the film's producers to give “Slumdog Millionaire” their unique treatment for an alternative online trailer for the film’s promotional campaign. The award winning movie, directed by Danny Boyle - director of “Trainspotting” and “28 Days Later” - tells the incredible story of a kid from the slums of Mumbai who gets to go on India's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?".
Shawn Faherty, Nine Inch Nails "Ghosts 8"

Psymbolic, KiloWatts, "microtakeover"
microtakeover is an exploration of the small vastness of life. An expression and indirect communication that intends to let the viewer experience however many levels of size and the causation that space defines.
microtakeover was conceptualized then created by means of animation, compositing and programming. The video was then transferred to KiloWatts to design the audio around then sent back to Psymbolic to make final edits. This creation method was flipped from their usual creative process. Psymbolic usually approaches creating video to be synched realtime to future audio and KiloWatts usually creates audio as a track to be a part of an album and/or performed live at events. visit Psymbolic

Travis Schlitter, Ha Ha Tonka, "Caney Mountain"
From the album, 'Buckle in the Bible Belt.' Visit: Blood Shot Records or Ha Ha Tonka for more information.
Motion design by Barkley.
A music video treated like a storybook fairy tale, the song Caney Mountain is loosely based upon a legend of the Ozarks involving a preacher who managed to sway an entire community with his gift of tongue. However, he eventually betrayed their faith by drowning a young girl in a nearby Ozarkian river. The story brought to life here is a merger of live-action and still photography, as well as a small amount of 3D work, blended together using various animation techniques. The process involved months of storyboarding and character development, as well as a heavy amount of color theory and a specific focus on the realism and limitations of an actual pop-up book vs a 'fantastic' pop-up book that was free to take on a more limitless, magical range of visual possibilities. This was inevitably the angle that was taken, as the story is actually being visualized from within by the magical suitcase itself.
Emmett Feldman and Suryummy, "Interstellar Suger"
Zia Sunseri and Brother Ali, "Uncle Sam Goddam"
Axel Roessler, "Besuch Der Holztiere"
