ArkhªmHªus is happy to point out that the animated film clip for Lovesick by Moose on the Lamb is available to view on Youtube -- Its a shining example of non-violent imagery with an astounding lack of ample flesh, aliens or robots (sigh ) I guess my mother would be proud....ArkhªmHªus is credited with the direction and flow of the animated and designed and illustrated all content.... The song featured is writen, played, sung and recorded by Mark Bodewes and the complete animation and export of final footage provided by Aaron Wakem ...

Hetfield, Primary computer system fo Zorptek Corps' interplanetary mining ship has been tasked with overseeing the crew's safe voyage to Jupiter's forth moon, Callisto. As the tension of long space travel mounts among the crew, Hetfield recognises a need to foster closer relationships and discover the essence of humanity. As the level of claustrophobic irritability worsens and the crew's better judgement is affected, Hetfield must put into practice what he has learned about being human. However, when Hetfield's newfound human frailty is discovered by the crew, he qualifies as a performer in the deep space-opera of paranoia, mistrust and conspiracy.

Post Production work has begun on the Animated music video LOVE SICK by M W BODEWES.
Cinematic
Poster Art : Typically
posters include both textual and graphic elements,
although a poster can consist wholly of graphics
or of text. Posters are designed to be both
eye-catching and convey information. Posters may
be used for many purposes. They are a frequent
tool of advertisers (particularly of events,
musicians and films) the Content of this gallery
falls into the film category featuring theatre
release posters, pre
and post production concept posters for the German
(Aug 2012) release of
Bad Behaviour "Bösen Menschen passieren böse
Dinge", the Thai release of Bad
Behaviour (????????
?)and character
playbills.
Stalkher
(Queensland based feature film) Pre-production
Concept Posters as well as theatrical and home
entertainment (DVD cover) artwork are now
viewable.
Props
and Sculptures : The
difference between a set decoration and a prop is
use. If the item is not touched by a performer for
any reason it is simply a set decoration. If it is
touched by the actor in accordance to script
requirements or as deemed by the director, it is a
prop. Prop weapons (such
as handguns,
axes or even a fire
poker) read
well but lack the inherent danger of the 'real'
weapon and are almost always either non-operable
replicas, or have safety features to ensure they
are not dangerous. The increasing popularity of
movie memorabilia (a
broader term that now includes costumes) has added new meaning to the term
"prop," broadening its existence to include a
valuable after-life as a prized collector's item.
Typically not available until after a film's
premiere, movie props appearing on-screen are
christened "screen-used". Sculpture
involves 3-D artwork created by shaping or
combining materials such as stone,
metal, glass, or wood. Softer ("plastic")
materials can also be used, such as clay,
textiles, plastics, polymers and softer
metals.
Cartoon
Gallery : Title says it all
really. A cartoon is a form of
2D illustrated visual art. While the specific
definition has changed over time, modern usage
refers to a typically non-realistic or
semi-realistic drawing or painting intended for
satire, caricature, or humor, or to the artistic
style of such works. A
mobile Phone Logo, freehand promo
sketches, DIY Character designs, a drunken bear,
farm animals, fish, crustaceans, a trio of lab
rats, football club logos, and a slightly
xenoglosic pumpkin. Because of the stylistic
similarities between comic strips and early
animated movies, "cartoon" came to refer to
animation, and the word "cartoon" is currently
used to refer to both animated cartoons and gag
cartoons. While "animation" designates any style
of illustrated images seen in rapid succession
to give the impression of movement, the word
"cartoon" is most often used in reference to TV
programs and short films for children featuring
anthropomorphic animals, superheroes, the
adventures of child protagonists and related
genres..

Scythian and Nordic mythology.
The Sketchpads :
Works in Progress .
The
Sketchpads :Following
the same format as the galleries,
these scribbles are works in progress
(remedial translation:I haven't
finished them yet), but don't
let that put you off, observing how
the designs develop has at least as
much value as say, watching paint dry
or trying to hit the arse end of a cow
with a banjo.
