Video Clip

After a 20 year songwriting hiatus, 90s band the Dead Salesmen’s, Justin Hayward and Justin Charleson have written a new album.

The band gave me a week to see if some sort of clip could be produced so I strung together b-rolls and other stuff I was experimenting with. I hope to re-visit this animation with time on my side.

Animations

Gimme Radio is an Internet radio and online store established in June 2017. It is based in San Francisco, California and was founded as an advertising-free service – broadcasting 24/7. DJs include Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine, Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe and Amon Amarth’s Johan Hegg.

In 2020 I produced a trilogy of animations for the station entitled Will Carroll’s Bedtime Stories.

Unfortunately episode 3 is on hold due to the Plague. Hopefully it’ll be released to the public soon.

In Progress

Bronson J. Paedamonte said he fell in love with music in 1932, when his aunt took him to see Duke Nuggets & The Wattle Gum Jug Band at the Royal Melbourne Show. The beauty of the whistle jug and elegant improvisation of the washboards made a life changing impact on the future business magnate.

Paedamonte Records has been a powder-keg on the Universes’ musical landscape since its 1970 inception.

Past Work

Video Clip

Lamb of God have revealed a brand new, Heath Bradley animated video for their Burn the Priest cover of the Ministry hit, “Jesus Built My Hotrod.”

The song comes off Lamb of God’s full-length covers album as Burn the Priest, Legion: XX. The album is a collection of songs honoring the classic punk, hardcore, crossover and noise artists that influenced the band in their formative years, released in celebration of Burn the Priest’s upcoming 20th anniversary.

** Somebody has managed to ‘rip’ a version and put it on YouTube, which you can view below.

The Show With No Name

The Show With No Name was a ripper radio program on Voice FM Ballarat in the early 2000s hosted by Len Hyatt.

He and I made a series of ads for the show which randomly screened at random places at random times. Pre i-phone type of times.
