"Reaching for the stars is what keeps us alive--but getting there will kill you".
In August 2008, I began interning at Island Planet One Productions--learning how to animate and doing minor background animation for the feature film, strange frame: Love & Sax. I finished my final animation project at the start of the summer, and the movie is nearing completion and will hit the film festival circuit in 2011. A mature, music filled, trippy sci-fi animated movie, strange frame is the kind of movie I love--and getting to be a part of something so spectacular was truly the opportunity of a lifetime.
(strange frame has mature themes going on in it, so heads up to all my younger watchers)
Here's the story:
It's the 29th century, and Humanity has long since abandoned Earth and spread throughout the solar system. To fit into the harsh environments, Humankind has genetically modified and mutated itself--making things like appearance, skin color, and sexual organs matters of fashion. Space piracy abounds in the asteroid belt and yet a totalitarian regime holds a tight grip in the Joves. Mars is a playground of mutations that harken back to a time of elves and faeries. The Saturians seem to be all about ecstasy, while further out the mining claves just try to survive.
But what if music is your gig?
Love & Sax takes us to Ganymede, one of Jupiter's moons. Two musicians and lovers, Parker (a soulful saxophonist) and Naia (an impish guitarist) play together on stage, moving almost as one. Unfortunately, fame is about to tear them apart.
Here's a short documentary I made at the start of my internship:
