Band-Aid Birthday Party! (A stop-motion invite)

The official invite to my Band-Aid Birthday Party!

Bring as many friends as you’d like. VJ Kai will be in the house, and lots of other surprises! Contribute with intoxicating substances, and above all… bring MANY band-aids!

Today I got a new tripod, and I’m pretty excited to be using it for the first time. The techniques were mainly in-camera. Used my Canon Powershot. The first parts are done accelerating the video frames, the third part (the band-aids against the wall bit) is actually just still photography. All stop motion, edited in After Effects, and iMovie. The only filters I used were the “4 colors” filters to help with the psychedelic feeling. Music is D.A.N.C.E. by Justice.

The concept behind the party? Well, aside from band-aids being cool… it is something I’m always talking about. How places, people, and things are just band-aids in life. Not a real solution, but just something to temporarily seal the cracks. So, lets be the seals in each other’s cracks! Lets party until we can’t. Lets build memories of nihilistic fun, and remember them when it is all gone. Thank you all, for being my band-aids. I hope I’m also being a good band-aid to you.
