WIZARD JUICE!!!!
Make full screen and turn up the sound for best effect.
The bearded wizard is Nick Ruest who was in town for the weekend and the dancing wizard is Gabe Merkin who was helping me out around the studio earlier in the year. He painted the pants himself and made the outfit.
This video took me forever to edit. It’s only two minutes long but I’ve been working on it since the 2nd of June like 8 hours every day. I chopped it up in Premiere, did most of the effects in After Effects. The 3d stuff is with Maya and some Processing. The music I made mostly with AudioMulch.
The things on the sides of the painting are these little gizmos I made. They are very hard to document. Basically it’s a box on stilts with a 1000 RPM motor inside spinning around a bent rod which I painted with neon colors and there’s a strobe light shining on the spinning rod making it look kind of like a hologram or something.

Here are some pics of the gizmo and that’s what the inside looks like. The hole has epoxy poured in it.
