Mixed Message is an award-winning short film set in San Diego, California. It chronicles the life of a graphic designer with ADHD and a deep distaste for his job in the advertising industry.
While serving as First Assistant Director and Stills Photographer on set, a pair of promotional stop-motion reels were created that evoke the essence of the two main characters. The website is built in Flash and utilizes full-browser imagery with a series of randomly loading backgrounds that display a fresh appearance on each visit.
Kissing Nightingale is a series of illustrations by artist and architect Aaron Blumenhein. Each of the drawings literally depict scenes from his dreams, which he remembers in incredible detail and records immediately upon waking. The exhibit took place in the artist's cramped San Francisco studio.
Seeing the lack of space as an opportunity rather than an obstacle, the solution was to flip the bed upright, with the drawings (or 'dreams') pinned to the wall next to it, imitating thought balloons; an apt representation of a dream: irrational and surreal.
