A Day of Life

I created these animations for a photography website that treats a client's ordinary day with the same care that would be given to a birthday or wedding. In my animations, I focused on simple pleasures of life and gave them a nostalgic feel. I was inspired by homegoods store 'John Derian' here in NYC and by a postcard of flowers by Andy Warhol, which influences one of the opening scenes. Joshua Williams composed the music which was captured on a rickety eighties voice recorder. Which do you like best?

It's HEEEERE!!!!! Annie Poon aka 'mc Paper Cut'

So excited to share with you my rap video! Thanks so much to Gonna Get Got for the Production help... This video is for an exhibit at Brigham Young University this October.

Boy did this piece have growing pains! It started out as cats cut out of felt moving around on a chalkboard. The final product draws directly from both personal experience and favorite stories. It is intentionally rough and raw, like my favorite youtube videos of rappers shot on their computer cameras... I got to try something new (rapping) and found out how much I love it! Is that okay for a nerdy 32 year old white girl? I think so...

Darting Devils

One of my sisters has been staying over, sleeping in my studio, and she enjoys looking at the ephemera from the movie making process that you miss in the finished product. She asked that I start posting some of it online.

Here is an image I am enjoying till I have to cut it to pieces in two minutes... it's a gang of devils that will fly across a colorful background. The way I have colored it outside the lines in the interest of speed makes it graphically appealing to me.

For the devils robes I was inspired by lighting bolts falling from the sky.

In the spirit of the times, here is a video of me on my very first day of kindergarten. My twin Katie and I had to hang big signs from our necks so that the bus drivers and teachers could identify us. I am the one in the blue dress, surprisingly acting shy! I don't know where that came from, I think I've always been an attention HOG, just ask my sisters who complain that I constantly try to steal their friends... My kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Danoff. I still remember what she looked like... A softspoken but confident woman in her 60's with short sandy hair. She made the classroom feel like a delight by decorating it with seasonal pictures. I was so excited because the first assignment came as soon as we sat at our desks. We had to copy a sentence off the board to this effect: 'Today is September 4th, it is Wednesday, and the weather is sunny." I was VERY impressed by this challenging assignment, which was repeated every day. I had never actually WRITTEN so many words before, was I even comfortable with all the letters? But I had a feeling she wanted to throw us all for a loop and just get us out of our comfort zone to be ready for any and all challenges! It worked, I loved her and did anything she wished. I honed and polished my brown nosing skills in that class, and put them to work regularly now!!!
