The following animation was made in collaboration with Daphne . The brief for her art direction project asked to create an animation for promoting the reading of literature. Daphne drew and all the elements in Illustrator and Photoshop while I did the animation in After Effects.

For the Design Against Fur International Animation Competition (that's a large name, makes it sound important), Daphne and I created the following. The drawings were made in illustrator then animated in After Effects. Music is done by me, apart from the silly scream, taken from some sample library of the BBC. The regulations said to upload the video as a video response on YouTube and I must admit the participants in the competition are very few. But I suppose no one needs an animation to advertise against the wearing of fur when one has got all those aesthetically pleasing Peta ads satisfying so much the male gaze.

Endoskeleton can now be found as a high quality version. The two projects "o xristos tis araxnis" can also be downloaded in a better quality here and here . If you are into music (and who isn't) you can download "Exoskeleton", a piece in four movements that can be downloaded either by visiting lucidsawndream.com or if one is too bored then follow these links: First movement (12:21) Second movement (2:06) Third movement (1:47) Fourth movement (4:19) Recorded using a 12 string and 6 string acoustic guitar, the song was originally a 24 minute improvisation. A rough edit and cut was made, and here you have it. Recording by Bari 'Floydian' Hadjikyriakou, aka "Taraparaskevas".

Experiments using mograph in cinema 4d. Part of a series of loop animations.

fixed some minor issues with the video, and also added a new scene, making scenes that for me looked a bit long, cut short. End speech by Bill Hicks from his 'Dangerous' cd. I think he sums up what im trying to say.
