The Late Mister CUBICLE - [140 Instrumental]

This is my Animated Short, featured in the Art of Digital Show 2007 in San Diego, The T-10 Festival in Oakland, Smogdance in Pomona, etc.

The concept of this piece is to be simultaneously a VJ set
and a character based short film.
The story concerns Mr. Manley Cubicle and his descent into madness.
It is an audio/visual parody, or tribute to the music and videos of the 1980's,
and a satire of the lifestyle of the new century - certainly the subjects of
information overload and corporate dehumanization
have never been more relevant than now.
"Do Itashimashite, Mr. Cubicle."

Love this! Its the sort of thing you can watch over and over and get something new each time! This gets 5 stars and i'm more in than the guy in the video now and hitting the subscribe button

Thanks!

Though the video is creepy, I hope that office workers and the information technology obsessed find "a sense of empathy" in this, rather than being offended by it! (as my ex-girlfriend was. ;-P ) I could not have made this film if I was not caught up in the new century "information overload" myself!

This is great, where can I get an mp3?

[VJFranzK]

thanks! This is the first "single" from my soon-to-be album "Red 5" - a DVD (with a music video for EVERY song), including MP3s for iPods, etc.  I'm thinking over how to handle the MP3s... I will let you know soon.

Love it! Poor Mr. Cubicle :(

[VJFranzK]

I only dreamed these characters once, which is surprsing? But plenty of other sleepless nights were involved.

[VJFranzK]

just think about watching it 1000 times in row while making it! ;-)
