    indeed, that is a really,really good video! I love those bugs, somehow they are reminiscent of these typewriter cockroaches in naked lunch..., very good job!
  • Helena Bulaja plus 1 year ago
    hey mr Jones, never thought of bugs to be like naked lunch ones ... ; )... but nice flow of thoughts thou ....for me they are very like I don't know... not decorative but sort of like symbolic paintings or ornaments of Klimt, but at the same time a crawling creatures that wonder around .... but not just the ornaments...something in between...but if you want to see more bugs check out this one vimeo.com/4898101 or vimeo.com/4886513 or even thos one ... ; )

    I think this video stands out on vimeo. I like how it has a little bit of a gritty experimental aesthetic and the mix of vintage and modern animation techniques. I find the majority of popular videos on vimeo to be too glossy and exquisite. Too many beautiful people with way too much after effects slo-mo and soft boxes. It gets so boring and repetitive. Its nice to see something good and different get attention. Well done.
  • Helena Bulaja plus 1 year ago
    Dear Brain thank you very much for your comment... and yes NO AFTEREFFECTS....we did most of the effects in camera stop motion playing with lights, sand, water etc...editing in Motion and FC

    Great film. :-) What's the connection with the New Zealand sign post?
  • Helena Bulaja plus 1 year ago
    hey..the new zealand sing is a long story...actually in the whole project, that will be comprise of more interconnected clips, there will be one host character with the name "Galatea" and that reason took us to the place in New Zealanad with the same name, and one interesting story with one old winemaker....hope this helps.... ; ) ....also the connection to New Zealand and Tesla is actually the biggest Tesla Coil that A. Gibbs commissioned for his sculpture park - photoshelter.com/c/alistairkeddie/gallery/Electrum-Sculpture-New-Zealand/G00003iwOzaAP7as/P0000gEBU_3QRu.Y

    truly awesome work!

    i was wondering how you went about compiling the shots between 00.04 and 00.28? what did you use to cut them together like that?
  • Helena Bulaja plus 1 year ago
    hey ...thx : ) and for editing I am using Motion and Final Cut ... masking mostly in motion....
