WARNING FLASHING LIGHTSSUMMARY:
An Occultist lusts for secret knowledge and power, searching for hidden Altars (Mother), who disperse transcendent knowledge across an unknown landscape during an unknown time. After a botched attempt to summon the Altar, the Occultist must go to extreme lengths to prove unwavering devotion. Will the occultist please Mother or face the wrath?
A descent into madness. An ascension to enlightenment.(Director’s Note)
I wanted to make something raw and gritty with the Mini DV cameras at my disposal, along with the analog glitch gear from Decaying Electronics and LullabyMachines. I’ve always been inspired by DIY filmmakers and appreciate the grit of low budget filmmaking. Created entirely on my own, this is the first short film I’ve produced since senior year of high school.
I hope you enjoy.-No Budget = household objects
-Solo Production = First time shooting a film ENTIRELY by myselfShot on Mini DV Camcorders:
-Canon ZR830
-Sony DCR-HC46Edited with Final Cut Pro X
Music/Sound FX composed in Ableton 10

I produced music tracks quicker than I could produce videos. The result: my recent attempt to travel back in time through the BADBOOB discography and upload music videos.
I produced visuals for the first two projects and then surrendered to the music making process. Unfortunately I neglected video production in the process and suffered the consequences of lacking promotional video content, for YouTube and social media like instagram and X.
Don’t be surprised if my YouTube/Rumble accounts begin uploading videos for older tracks. Practice for a more cohesive project in the future.
Stay tuned.
Here’s a video I made with a few spare hours.

Here is the follow-up LEGO animation to my previous post.
I am building skills at animations, enjoying the bloody special effects, creating sound effects, and sneaking produced music into the mix. It’s a grueling process, taking picture after picture, moving frame by frame, and hoping not to dislodge the camera, tripod, or figures. This video, reaching one minute long, took over twelve hours to produce. I’d argue half and half, between time spent shooting and editing.
It’s fun creating the story on the fly for such a short project, although will script and potentially storyboard a longer format video. I’m expecting a few more animations tests, potentially a music video or two, and then will pursue a short film or feature. I imagine I’ll build the videos longer and longer, minute by minute until tackling hours of stop motion. Christ.
I present to you, Nightclub Catastrophe.
A stop motion animation test. -
I’m assembling old LEGO pieces for stop motion animations. Beats live-action films by myself for the time being. Although don’t worry, short films are inevitable. In the meantime, I’m continuing LEGO animation films where I left off, and aiming for a a long format, 10-30 minute movie. However, In order to accomplish serious projects, I’ve gotta test movement, blood and gore, special effects, frame rate, video editing skills, etc. I’ve gotta start small.
So in my return to LEGO stop motion, I present to you “Mob Hit”, my first LEGO animation since 2006.
I enjoyed making this one afternoon, expect more.
