MY JUNK WAS ON THE TEEVEE
In the late 1990s and early 2000s when I was teaching myself spittle effects animation, creating fake UFO footage was a fun thing to do. I posted some of the resulting shots on usenet and elsewhere without attribution, doing my part to sow seeds of confusion. Early this morning one of the UFO sequences turned up in the wee hours on the Discovery Channel (or one of its diluted offsharts) in a show called, approximately, "The Strangest UFO Cases Ever." Amused, I did a quick Google search and discovered those very same scenes have been uploaded by a number of different people over the years, none of them indicating the video didn't originate with them. At some point, a little story became attached to the video, which has followed the video from place to place, dutifully copied and pasted. A few creative individuals have even re-edited the video, and added festive soundtracks. Ain't that spatial!
REPERKUSSIONZ is still a thing!

Good Hebbins.
It's been a while. Some day soon I'll have to upload the trickle of newly-finished REPERKUSSIONZ stuff. More shots are done. Upconverting to HD has presented some issues (the project has been going on so long, HD wasn't a mandatory thing when it started). In most instances, it's actually easier to simply re-do entire shots. On the upside, some new software has made other animation processes go more quickly.
Meanwhile, a steady stream of other work crosses the desk, most mundane but some slightly more interesting, such as this ten-day quicky video for previous collaborator VOLT 9000's song TRANCERS:
Anyway, REPKUSSIONZ lives on! Although, the tubes rammed up its nose and the bolted-on diaper make it difficult to jump around in the sprightly fashion once afforded by youth.
Watch this space. No one can hear you scream here.
