Animated Music Video for Rafter's song, Juicy.
Animation by Dax Norman. Edited By Evan Henke

Growing up around cable TV, and now youtube, we are all bombarded constantly by images. My artwork reflects this. I envisioned this music video as someone changing the channel on their TV, only there are multiple shows on at once. (even sharing the same lines and shapes) They sometimes change together, sometimes not. Some channels may stay on longer.

I aim to animate multiple things going on simultaneously, known as double imagery. Also, you will see an animated tesselation, perhaps the first of its kind? That part is also like one of those old magic eye puzzles. (See if you can find the walking man in there). Later, I will list all of the things hidden in this animation.

I never realized how atrocious youTubes compression was until it happened to me. (watch in the higher quality version for a little better view)


Try to find all of these things that are hidden in this music video:
1st Shot:
Longhorn, Walking dog, Red Spider, Superhero in a car, cool guy with shades on, elephant (1), goldfish, walking man(hint: this one is like an animated magic eye puzzle. Ice Cream cone(1)

2nd shot:
an Old Shoe, a wizard, a boxer, some guy holding a rose and a bird, a nodding face

A lady Boxer, a grumpy construction worker, girl's face.

5th Shot.
2 lovers kissing, a flying bird old shoe (2), alligator, backwards girls face, a Beagle, mouse playing air guitar, toothpaste tube, Ice Cream Cone(2) Elephant, Pig...

there are very many more things hidden, but I will try to list the rest later. I think you get the picture.
Enjoy, -Dax

Really great work man! It would be kool to see this double imagery combined with your 3d skills! Maybe triple imagery!!!

Did I see Frank Finkerton in there. lol :D

[daximonious]

Thanks, Frank Finkerton does indeed make a cameo at about 49 seconds.

It's funny, that idea to translate this sort of thing into 3d just occurred to me this morning. I think it is possible.

I saw some of your tests for this... wouldn't have imagined it was for a contest and not a high paying major label contract...

then again you can only achieve things of this quality with complete creative freedom.

Thanks for the nice compliment. We all have to start somewhere.
