Murder in Moline

This stop motion animation is a first effort composed of about 850 stills shot during a single (ragged) overnight period; without the titles and other frills, it's total duration is short of a single minute. The video has been (unaccountably) accepted as an official selection for the 17th annual Berkeley Video & Film Festival, presented by the East Bay Media Center, scheduled for showing in Fall, 2008 at the Landmark California Theatre on Kittredge Street in Berkeley.

I'm pretty sure that the fifth guy in the closing line-up is the guilty party ... but maybe I better watch it again.

Simply put: The dog did it!

Magnificent. An authentic depiction of the human condition, portrayed most concisely. Exquisite.

This is utterly and outrageously immoral, and a libelous attack on our city. DON'T play it! Organize a boycott. Also, technically, it sucks -- these creeps don't know JakSchidt about production values and -- well, I could go on, but I'm too furious ... I'd rate it 5 turds.
