Crutch by Fade Animated Music Video

2011-11-06T11:34:00.000+07:00

Earlier this year I finished a mammoth project that had been on-going (on the back-burner) for a couple of years. Crutch by Fade is a music video for the Wellington, New Zealand indie rock band Fade from the album Cousin Elsa.

I was fortunate to receive funding from RMIT Link Arts and Culture that allowed me to submit the music video to a number of animation and short film festivals around the world. I have yet to hear from a few but I received confirmation that it will be playing in competition at a festival in Lituania.

Tindirindis International Animation Film Festival was held in Vilnius, Lithuania from October 24 - 30 and then is touring to Siauliai, Panevezys, Kaunas, Nida and Klaipeda. My film is playing in competition in the Animated Music Video Clips "Music-Animation" section.

I want to thank the Fade boys, the crew at RMIT Link Arts and Culture and, of course, Marcia for kicking my arse to get this done.

Halloween Hollywood Babble-On Animation

2011-11-01T07:51:00.007+07:00

My newest animation got mentioned on Hollywood Babble-On by Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman. Check out the video above and the audio here.

Kevin Smith is trick or treating with some friends when he meets a creepy clown played by Ralph Garman.
Audio is from Hollywood Babble On #55: Babble-On Philadelphia.
Animation is by me, James Paul aka VJ Sepp
Featuring cameos from Walt Flanagan and Bryan Johnson from Tell 'em Steve Dave and The Secret Stash. TESD

I am happier with this video than my last Hollywood Babble-On video, the Kevin Smith's Transformers video.

VJ Sepp at Grolsch Grid

2011-10-15T09:41:00.001+07:00

Yeah locals rule! I was involved with Grolsch Grid this year, local artists music/visual festival sponsored by Grolsch. Did a show already with Muckle Pup and Samari at Bimbo's last week and have one more show coming up with Samari at Gasometer Hotel on Tuesday night. Debuted my glitch style stuff for these shows. Went over well I think.

Critical Animals

2011-09-24T09:22:00.002+07:00

If anyone is in Newcastle next week (Friday 30th September). I will be presenting my Masters research at the Critical Animals Creative Research Festival within the This Is Not Art Festival. I am part of the first talk of the whole festival.

"Animation, Film Essay and the Absurd 10AM-11:30AM, Newcastle Regional Art Gallery, Paper Session and Screening - Cleo Mees, Iolanthe Iezzi, James Paul - Supported by Macquarie University
"We look at three very different interactions between filmmakers, moving images and audiences. Whether absurdist film works aimed at an arts audience, an academic essay film or an animated televised series for a nation of pre-schoolers,filmmaking is used for amusement, education, to stimulate thought or further a cause. Can the moving image speak as loudly as words?"

Hollywood Babble On

2011-08-15T15:20:00.001+07:00

Transformers Directed by Kevin Smith staring Jason Statham and Ralph Garman

My newest short film which I made using dialogue from Hollywood Babble On. It got mentioned on the podcast and has six thousand views so far! Very cool to get a mention and my little zing against Australians got some airplay.

Not super happy with the video, could have been better but I didn't want to work on it too much further. Speed is the essence in viral videos.

Film Funding

2011-05-08T09:25:00.000+07:00

I recently received funding from RMIT Link Arts & Culture to send my new film to animation festivals.

This was the first time I received funding for a film and I would like to thank RMIT Link Arts & Culture for awarding me this money. It is a big step up in my career.

Coles - Prices are Down - Post Apocalypse Ad Parody

2011-04-13T15:12:00.006+07:00

New parody ad I created for Coles Supermarket in response to their Prices are Down campaign. I created a TVC that imagines shopping in a world after an apocalypse......

Update:

This video has been getting some nice mentions around the web. It could be to do with the coming Milk Wars! or it could be due to the rapture either way good to know Coles will be there for us.

It has been posted here (perhaps automatically) on iPolitics360 also a cool mention on the Stockyard Horse Discussion Forums by NiccyLoves K and also posted on the Here Today I Stand Tumblr Blog and Tweeted by the same user. Thanks for all the link love!

Update 2:

I got an email from Google saying "Your video Coles - Prices are Down - Post Apocalypse Ad Parody might be eligible for the YouTube Partnership Program, which allows you to make money from playbacks of your video."

Which is nice and all but I think their strict copyright enforcement will prevent me from joining the program. I am covered under Australian copyright law to use the logos and songs in the video as parody as long as I am not making money from it, another reason I won't be joining the program. I need to create a new video that goes viral. Thinking cap on .....

Update 3:

This video got yanked off youtube by Coles for infringement of copyright. I might fight it as I think I have a case as parody under the copyright legislations. It is pretty obvious that Coles is using the copyright claim as censorship as they have not laid copyright claims to the myriad of other Coles videos online.

Update 4:
06/08/2011
I am planning on fighting the copyright claim and have just contacted Arts Law by their online submission form. This is what I wrote:

Please summarize your legal issue:
During my practice as an animator/visual artist I created a parody TVC for Coles Supermarket and posted it on youtube, it got 6000 views. Coles made a claim of copyright and my video was taken down.

What questions would you like to ask a lawyer?
I would like to appeal the copyright decision on the basis of fair dealing - parody. I believe Coles is using copyright as censorship because they didn't agree with the tone of my advert. Would I have a basis to appeal the copyright takedown notice? I did use their logos and some distorted music from their advert but the advert was clearly a parody set after the apocalypse.

Update 5:
15/08/2011
Spoke to a lawyer from Arts Law today and from discussing the case with her I have decided to fight the copyright take down notice on the basis of fair dealing parody and satire. Apparently this has never been challenged in the court in Australia. So either Coles will back down or take me to court and then I can start legal history in Australia! Win win!!

Update 6:
7/09/2011
The video is back up! COPYFIGHT!!!!!!

ABC? An Obscure Alphabet.

2011-03-05T10:05:00.000+07:00

Recent animation for Secret Handshake that I was very happy with. I really liked the style I used for this one. Thanks to Eunzie for the music.

Back in Aussie

2011-03-05T10:01:00.000+07:00

Been back in Aussie for a month or so. Back at RMIT finishing my Master in Creative Media (Animation and Interactive Media). I think my thesis will be on Educational Animation for Preschoolers and Adults or something.

Finished a couple of show reels.

One for James Paul Animations:

And one for VJ Sepp featuring clips from all around Asia:

Had a quick VJ in Melbourne at Bimbo Deluxe, good fun, thanks to vdmo Kstati who hosted me there for a short set.

Created an animated promo for the guys at Two Bulls for the Content360 festival. It was a neat broken future styled video for an interactive iphone app. Good fun although a very short deadline which had me pull a couple of all nighters. I will attach the video if they put it up online and expect a couple of clips when I next update my show reel.

I am working part time while I study as a Graphic Designer at a larger multinational company working on some interesting projects including an info channel for a remote residential facility. Enjoying the work.

As always check out my animations on my Youtube page here. VJSepp's Channel

Ha Noi, Viet Nam.

2010-03-17T16:55:00.001+07:00

Moved from Seoul to Ha Noi, Vietnam. Had a great time VJing in Seoul, with some wicked DJs and live musicians, crews and venues: Vadim, Marko, Dan, Mykian, Felix, Mr Fudge, Swingsett, SoftCorps, The Wise Guys, Brokin Machin, Space Academy, Glue, The Hive, Twisted, Club Via, Hard Rock Cafe Seoul and many others!

Ha Noi is going great so far, got a job teaching design at a college here. Got a couple of gigs lined up already.

This Saturday [3/20/10] there is a pre-event at Le Cooperative here in Ha Noi.

The second teaser concert from Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival 2010: Green Space’s series of pre-events, featuring: Michael Møller (Denmark) DJ Kruise (Vietnam-Hip hop beats) Tri Minh (Vietnam-Minimal Techno) Young DJ group with VJ Sepp (New Zealand) and VJ Tu (HCMC). Facebook link.

Next weekend is a 3 day music festival that is going to be awesome! Hanoi Sound Stuff: Greenspace festival. I will be VJing on all three of the days March 26th, 27th, and 28th. Looking forward to working with VJ Tu from HCMC to create some awesome visuals for the event. Heaps of cool DJs and live acts are coming from around the world and all over Vietnam.

" Following its two previous successes, the third Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival this year, entitled “Green Space”, aims to become more diverse and of higher quality, to enable greater artist exchange and capacity development, while also connecting music and art with environmental awareness raising, and finallly to reach a much larger audience.

The festival will last for 3 days, with more than 70 artists from 14 countries, including a diverse set of Vietnamese upcoming and cutting edge artists. There will also be a series of workshops, activites and screenings of movies and video clips regarding environmental concerns and climate change problems."

2009-11-18T17:44:00.006+07:00

I have not updated this blog nearly enough. Certainly not as I said I would with a post per event.

First an upcoming show.

From the show information:
@ the Hive & Roofers

Two venue slimnastic hip hop & broken beat work out hosted by over a dozen of Seoul's finest aerobic masters.

DJs, MCs, Dancers, VJ, Art, Fashion Show and Jazzercise, baby!

Wear = your fav. unitard! legwarmers, adidas sweats, hightops and sweatbands.

Best dressed gets a bar tab of 50 000won.

FULL DETAILS:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=336064575353

Get sweaty, you know you want to

Should be a fun night. I have some Jazzercise VJ clips ready to go. Should complement the hip hop nicely.

Last Month at Hive was Halloween.
Spooky night of music and art.

It was called "Tales of Sin" and it was a good night with everyone dressed up and into the Halloween spirit. 2 small things, got my VJ named spelled wrong on the flyer "VJ Shepp" not "VJ Sepp". Also the way the room was set up the DJ booth was covered by fabric which I was projecting onto, because of this lots of people assumed I was the DJ. So I had to field requests ranging from K-pop to Aeroplanes by MIA. Also got told a few times that the music was "shit!". I ended up making a sign that read "I am NOT the DJ" which I just pointed to when people came up.

Last few months were Space Academy 3,4 and 5.

3 was the first one held at the Hive, which lead to my recent VJing at the Hive in Seoul. 3 was also the first one with 3D glasses given out which corresponded to some anaglyph 3D VJing from myself.

4 was down in Busan, venue was amazing at the Novotel Hotel nightclub. Treated very nicely down there. Superb show.

5 was the next night in Seoul back at the Hive, rocked it hard!

Next show is coming up sometime in December.

Here is a video I made to advertise the shows. Illustration from Mr Fudge animation by me.

To finish on some animation I entered the Marvel motion comics contest on Aniboom. Check it out below.

Watch more cool animation and creative cartoons at Aniboom

I am back at work on the Fade music video. Should get it finished by the end of the year.

Came and Coming Shows

2009-06-08T14:31:00.008+07:00

I will start with an upcoming show first.

Space Academy 2 is on this Friday the 12th of June 2006. Links: Facebook Myspace This event will be at Club Tool in Hongdae in Seoul, South Korea.

From DJ Swingsett "SPACE ACADEMY... 2nd Edition with super DJ/Producer MILES MAEDA ( CHICAGO ) http://www.milesmaeda.com <<< Comin' FRIDAY, JUNE 12, with... The SPACE CADETS: DJ 'S' :: MYKIAN :: FELIX :: SWINGSETT & Visual Commander VJ SEPP... Many people ready for DIS 1 ! Watch the RIIIIIDE!!!!! :D =o ;]"

Last weekend the 6th of June I rocked Club Via in Hongdae again for Twisted which is a long running foreigner run DJ night. "A night of twisted tech, jackin & electro house!" It had a Star Trek theme and I cut up some old school Star Trek TAS (The Animated Series).Also some nuke and swine flu references to stay topical and twisted.

Last month on May 30th I VJed for Glue another long running party night here in Seoul. Again at Club Via. Another good night. I debuted some new Indian inspired video and animation in honour of the crazy poster.

On a final animation note. I won last months Animation Club!!! Secret Handshake Challenge. Check out my video about pants below. Sorry about the singing!

What?

2009-05-11T14:00:00.017+07:00

It has been a very long time since I updated this blog that no one reads.

In my last post I mentioned my band "Brokin Machin". We played a couple of times at Hard Rock Cafe in Seoul and rocked the house on one occasion and vaguely entertained on another couple. We got a good video out of it thought. Perhaps look forward to seeing some more Brokin Machin in the near future.

I also mentioned Konkrete Jungle in my last post. VJed there and killed it, had lots of people coming up to give me respect for the visuals. A little of my visuals made it into the video for the night.

I ended up VJing a lot for The Wise Guys which is a great rock band based here in Seoul made up of really talented musicians. We played a lot at Hard Rock Cafe in Seoul and a few other places around town. Most of the other gigs didn't get much visual love but my VJing really shone at Hard Rock. Hopefully it will open up again soon and we get back to being the semi house band. Check a video with some of my visuals.

I VJed at the start of this year for DJ Vadim and Yarah Bravo as One Self for their recent Seoul show. Really cool night with great music although the main promoters Riskei ended up being dicks and I still haven't been payed! The Korean Times wrote an (online) article about the show here. It was a great show from the underground hip hop legends with awesome support from Windy City (cool Korean reggae band) , J-Path, Solegene, and Mr. Fudge. Take a look at the video but watch the sound, not the best.

I VJed the other evening at Space Academy which is a new party night here in Seoul. It was at Club Tool in Hongdae. The DJ's killed it with great tunes all night combined with some cool live music components. The DJs were Swingsett, DJ_S, Mykian, Felix and the special guest DJ: Madrid from Chicago.

This is turning into a massive post. I will try and make a separate post for each event from now on.

Another cool night I VJed at here in Seoul was Glue at Club Via. A very nice club with a good VJ set up and all the people there made me feel very welcome. I hope to VJ again there soon. The DJs for the night were Seoul Secret Service supported by DJs Airmix & Kuma & Eugene Blake.

Also quick animation news, the new Animation Club!!! presents Secret Handshake had kicked off in Melbourne at Loop Bar. I am going to try and enter each month. The last month's topic was dinosaurs. The next months topic is pants.

I will leave you with my video for the dinosaur one. Thanks for reading!!!

Busy October

2008-09-30T15:13:00.004+07:00

VJ Sepp is back in Seoul it seems.

My new band "Brokin Machin" is playing a gig this weekend at the Hard Rock Cafe Seoul.

In a couple of weeks I am VJing at Konkrete Jungle IV at Club Cargo in Hongdae, Seoul.
Looking forward to this.

HAFFTube Entry!

2008-09-15T18:32:00.002+07:00

My film "Strong Desire" is entered in the Holland Animation Film Festival's Web Competition.

You would be doing me a favor by checking it out and voting on it and favoriting it for me. It's a good film too. Using ripped paper and some good writing and voice acting. Check it out!!!

... with a fringe on top!

2008-08-18T21:04:00.001+07:00

I just uploaded one of my VJ mixes to the Melbourne Digital Fringe site, which is part of the larger Melbourne Fringe Festival. The animation is here. It just got "approved by the content moderator" so now it's live.

I was involved in the Digital Fringe a couple of years ago when, with Animation Club!!!, when we took the MPU, Mobile Projection Unit, a van with a projector on top that streamed to the internet. We took it around Melbourne projecting onto various buildings including Federation Square. Here is a video from that time.

I am looking forward to the Digital Fringe Festival this year but not pleased that I won't be in Melbourne and will have to miss it.

Edit: Another of my VJ mixes is now up on the site here. This one is about urban signage.

HiDefZoMo

2008-08-02T19:10:00.006+07:00

I have been playing around with the animation sites that I subscribed to and I am really enjoying Mytoons. They let me post .swf files, interactive and non. I can also post there in High Def Wide Screen. Seen below is the most wasteful use of High Def. Although it is much better quality than on youtube. I have got heaps more hits at Mytoons than at Aniboom and am featured on two Mytoons "channels".

I also registered and uploaded some movies to the not yet opened 4mations.tv site. It seems to be a site for animations for the channel 4 tv station in Britain. Since their logo appears to be winged skulls with bunny rabbits hopping out I think they will appreciate my weird animations.

New Koi Fish VJ Animation

2008-07-29T17:03:00.004+07:00

I joined a couple of new sites this weekend. Aniboom and Mytoons.

I am in the process of putting my newer better animations up. Some hopefully in High Def. Having a little trouble getting some of them up and finding them. For example I have a film up at Aniboom but can't find it or view it at all.

Anyway Mytoons will host interactive flash animations. I make some of these for my VJ set. They are controllable through Resolume, the VJ software that I use. They make my VJ sets unique as every time I use them the clips are different. I will try and post more of these but I have one up so far.

The Koi fish swims (follows) leisurely after the mouse arrow in the clip below. Try it out. The patterns on the Koi fish are real patterns from different varieties of Koi. I am sure a Koi otaku could name them all, I just think they look pretty sweet.

Just been setting up a new YouTube channel for my stuff.
I had a lot of videos on the web but they were spread around different sites. They are all now on YouTube and all classified nicely. The address is www.youtube.com/VJSepp

Also set up a couple of play lists, one for my animations and one for my VJing.

VJ Sepp!

The videos feature music by Adie, Vadim and SoftCorps.

Also while you are on YouTube check out the Animation Club!!! channel. They are running a monthly animation competition with all the entries being screened at Loop Bar in Melbourne. Click here for more info on the competition.

Coffee anyone?

2008-06-07T15:22:00.003+07:00

I'm trying to be more creative lately and have been doing some work on a variety of projects, more details when I get more done on them.

One of the projects I did was to design a Be@rbrick for a competition run by Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, here in Korea.

I think mine (Paisley Suited) was pretty cute and a clever way of incorporating their logo in a funny, summer design. I haven't heard the results of the competition yet but fingers crossed. It would be so neat to have my own Be@rbrick made. The first prize includes a lot of vouchers for Coffee Bean and I am sure I would spend more of them on the bears.

Also working on another logo for a different competition, I think I have more of a chance with that one which would also be very cool if I win. I will update all the people who read this blog when I get more information about that one. And should be VJing again very soon.

Tool Time!

2007-12-02T11:18:00.000+07:00

VJed last night for SoftCorps at Club Tool in Hongdae. Nice set up there although the screens were a bit small for the VJing. They were nice and clear and added to the show I think. I debuted some new animations for the songs. I had talked to Marko from SoftCorps about the theme of each song and I made some new animations and changed some others around a bit. Some of the new ones were reactive to the music and I think they worked really well. I want to make some more like that with more interactivity.

I want to wish the guys well for the huge New Years Eve show with Carl Cox. Looking forward to VJing with them when I get back from South America

VJ Sepp & SoftCorps at Club Tool - December 1st 2007

What was the question?

2007-11-17T10:18:00.000+07:00

VJed at Club Answer in Apgujong last night. A really flash area of Seoul where all the rich people live and hang out. It was a really nice club with heaps of lights and lasers and a huge mirror ball. The VJ set up was really great. I had my own balcony overlooking the dance floor. There were two big projectors, one for the stage and one projecting above me. There were also four big LCD screens in front of the stage.

After the show we hung out in a glassed in VIP area. It was so different from the dive bars in Hongdae that I VJed in before. While all the stuff was much better I liked the atmosphere in the little places much better. Less pretentious and more fun. Saying all that I will VJ at Club Answer again in a second. Check out the pictures. Not bad for my 3rd VJ gig in Seoul.

I received a catalogue from the Serbian animation festival that I got into. My film is on page 104.

"Animated Saturday"

"The opening programme for Saturday, the last day of the festival, is a display of mostly European films. Due to a wide range of topics and different animation techniques, Animated Saturday is a pleasant mixture for any true lover of animated film."

Rokon!!!! again

2007-11-07T16:15:00.000+07:00

Got my photo in Rokon Magazine again here in Seoul. It was for Vadim's CD launch party that I VJed at. No mention of me in the text although they mention pretty much everyone else. Might be VJing again for him later this month.

I added a handy arrow about my head so you can see me.

Famous! Sort of ....

2007-10-30T18:27:00.000+07:00

Softcorps got a feature in Rokon Magazine, an indie music magazine here in Seoul.

Some nice photos from the gig at Club Cargo. Although none of them feature my VJing. The one on the right of Marko has a little bit of one of my animations.

Below is where I am mentioned in the article. Also a picture of Eunah dancing with me drinking a beer infront.

First VJ Gig in South Korea

2007-09-17T05:42:00.000+07:00

2007-08-14T23:34:00.000+07:00

My Major film, "The Urban Migration" got into Animania 07, a Serbian Animation festival. I am really pleased that I persevered since the first post office I went to here in Korea wouldn't accept my package to Serbia, I had to go to a larger one and they sent it fine. Apparently my film is in the "special additional programme called ANIMATED SATHURDAY"

Winner of a Pirate

"What is the 15/15 Film Festival?

The 15/15 Film Festival is an event that is focused at providing emerging and independent filmmakers with an opportunity to produce, record and screen a short film."

Well I produced and recorded a short film (with heaps of help from Niall and Eunah) "The Captain's Underpants and the Thinking Pegs" (a title almost as catchy as my vampire play "Auto-Sanguination" see below). Now it's being screened. At a matinee. Matinee makes me think of Grandmothers and pantomimes. I think in this case it's for films that the judges didn't like. Make up your own mind. I'll be there (I got a free ticket). Details below.

Ok. Didn't get into the Film and Video awards but don't care. Movies suck. Plays are the future.

I have a play that is being performed as part of Snatches. From the RMIT Union arts website:

Snatches is a night of independent theatre like no other. RMIT students from myriad courses and campuses have written scripts, skits, rants and raves for inclusion in Snatches 2006. These short works have then been developed for the stage by our director-in-residence Lynne Ellis to create two nights of truly 'live' theatre that is lively, frenetic and unpredictable. A different program of works will be performed on each of the two nights of Snatches 2006.

My play "Auto-Sanguination" (it's about vampires or something) is on
Wednesday 17th of May at 6:30pm
Kaleide RMIT Union Theatre
Street Level, Building 8, 360 Swanston St.

It's $5 for RMIT students and free for union arts members.

World Famous in Korea

More video of me in Korea has surfaced on the internet. It's not as interesting as the other one on Liger Balm but you can check the new one out here. They do use a photo of me on the main article which is kind of cool. I remember that the girls in that class were very shy.

Update: The link no longer works. My 15 minutes was fleeting.

Today I entered The Heckmann Inquiry (Check it out here) in the RMIT Student Film and Video Award. Fingers crossed.
