Dayside by the Seashore

Another L'il Whalen animation, this one pulled from a day with the kids at the New Jersey sea shore...

Travellers in Time and Space

Some very exciting news! My good friend Greg Gilpatrick's new short for The Apples in stereo goes live today. A viral promotion for the Apples' upcoming album Travelers Through Space and Time, the video features frontman Robert Schneider and Elijah Wood as himself... sort of. Take a look!

I hired on as production designer for the shoot, which happened just after the new year. In addition to scavenging for props and set pieces, I worked with Greg and handyman Billy Lalor to design and build the E.L.F.N.T.-6 Machine... something of an adventure with power tools. It came out looking pretty damn snappy.

Additional videos to come, musical & otherwise. In the meantime, the machine-inspired site is live here.
