Lost Jockey Films' "AERODYNAMICS"

"AERODYNAMICS" is the bittersweet tale of Lil' Moe, a ventriloquist dummy that saves the world from a hostile alien attack after volunteering for what many consider a suicide mission. The short film follows Lil' Moe and his puppeteer, Willy Jefferson, as they recall their past together as performers up to Lil' Moe's brave encounter with the alien. The film is a satire that combines the excitement and aesthetic of the 1960s space program with the civil rights movement as well as other classic sci-fi sources. Hemlock FX & Post was proud to assist director Ted Cormey with the various tie-ins and short trailer for the film, which will be submitted to various independent festivals. You can watch the clips here and you can learn more about the project at the official web site.

"Anime"ted band takes fandom world by storm

2eastmusic.com's Matt Myers wanted to create a series of songs and videos that would speak to the people he has met at anime and gaming conventions across the country. He started with "Yuri the Only One", and asked Hemlock FX & Post to supervise the video's post-production aspects. The animation was created by Studio N8. Since the video was released, it has been watched more than 400,000 times on YouTube and other video sharing sites and launched a live-action band tour headlined by Matt Myers. The success of the video and the songs has even earned the LeetStreet Boys a spot performing this year at the Boston Video Games Live! tour on Nov. 21, 2008. Stay-tuned, there are more videos in the pipeline coming soon.
