Bringing Maxwell Vann's Music to Life Through Animation
By Richard Borge
I've been working on creating a reel of "type treatments + film titles," and this is a small bite-sized project/assignment I gave myself. The piece was not done for an actual festival but simply as an addition to my animation reel. I've been advised that when creating animations for samples it is a good idea to make them "look and feel" as real as possible.
A musician named Maxwell Vann has been sending me clips of his music for a while now, so I reached out to him to see if he'd be on board with using some of his music on this small teaser. (He was.) I think the result worked out well. I like the warm "tube amp" sound of his music in this clip. I did the simple mechanical sound effects in-house. A big thanks to Maxwell Vann for agreeing to our collaboration...
No hands were injured in the creation of this video. More animations are in progress now, and I will post again soon.

Crowd Sourcing
By Richard Borge
Here is a piece done last Monday for Wall Street Journal about crowd sourcing i.e. hiring out micro tasks to large numbers of people, rather than hiring temps or part timers. Jonathan Pillet was the art director, always a pleasure to work with!

"I am Organic" created by Richard Borge
Meat Beat Manifesto "I Am Organic" music video from Richard Borge on Vimeo.
Illustrator and animator Richard Borge created this music video of Meat Beat Manifesto’s track, “I Am Organic,” for the NORWAY NOW in NYC exhibit at the .NO Gallery. Borge has done multiple CD covers for the band, and when he was looking for a track to animate, this one came to mind. Jack Dangers was fully on board and allowed him to do whatever Borge wanted, and well, who wouldn't want to make fish-like spaceships and fly them around inside a computer? With just three weeks to complete the video, Borge set up a camera behind him while he worked on the computer and left the camera in place for all three weeks. He supposed that the small clock in the lower right corner of the time lapse video could be super helpful to his friends, who often wonder where he disappears to when working on these videos.

Richard Borge Illustrates, "The Beauty Contest That's Shaking Wall Street"
Richard Borge provided the above illustration for the recent New York Times article by Robert J. Shiller. The article discusses the recent stock market volatility and supplies reasoning that incorporates John Maynard Keynes and beauty contests. Here's a snippet:
"Why did investors react so strongly to the rating change, which, after all, was merely the opinion of a few analysts on a committee? And why did the market swing so much day to day, even when there was no significant news?
John Maynard Keynes supplied the answer in 1936, in “The General Theory of Employment Interest and Money,” by comparing the stock market to a beauty contest. He described a newspaper contest in which 100 photographs of faces were displayed. Readers were asked to choose the six prettiest. The winner would be the reader whose list of six came closest to the most popular of the combined lists of all readers.
The best strategy, Keynes noted, isn’t to pick the faces that are your personal favorites. It is to select those that you think others will think are prettiest. Better yet, he said, move to the “third degree” and pick the faces you think that others think that still others think are prettiest. Similarly in speculative markets, he said, you win not by picking the soundest investment, but by picking the investment that others, who are playing the same game, will soon bid up higher."
