SFFSFF has been great to my films in the past, with RPG OKC winning the audience choice award this year and The Hunter and the Swan Discuss Their Meeting winning the Grand Jury Prize in 2012. On February 5th, RPG OKC will be screening as part of a 10-year retrospective at the 2015 festival.
Last year, in order to spotlight the talents emerging from NYU’s graduate film program, students Ash Bhalla and Shandor Garrison created the Purple List, the university’s answer to the Blacklist. The notable success of the 2012 Purple List was Shaka King’s stoner comedy Newlyweeds, which premiered this January at Sundance and was picked up for distribution by Phase 4 Films.
Kid Can Drive is seeking a pixel artist to design 10 sprites for a 16-bit music video. Pay is $500.

Romantic short films that express the beauty and anguish of love, with animation, drama and dark sexy comedy.
Love is hard to find, whether you’re a lonely little fish or the Chancellor of world power. Love is hard to keep, battered as it may be by hurricanes and politics. But worst of all, lost love may haunt and torture you, with bad dreams and cheap trinkets, till you want to forget and move on but hold out hope for some final passionate reconnection. The short films in this program run the gamut from romantic to heartbreaking, from disturbing to hilarious, but they all hit hard right in the heart. – Mark Elijah Rosenberg
SONNTAG 3 (Jochen Kuhn | Germany | 14 min.)
The stress of leading the largest economy in the European Union can make for some strange blind dates.
THE WEDDING (Simon Cottee | 5 min.)
When love blossoms, it isn’t always comforting, as a melancholy boy sheds his memories of his estranged father’s wedding on a cramped boat in shark-infested waters.
WHEN WE LIVED IN MIAMI (Amy Seimetz | USA | 13 min.)
A hypnotic short about a woman struggling to keep her family from falling apart, filmed during the fallout of a real hurricane.
CONTENTS OF C_____’S BOX, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER (Ian Berry | USA | 3 min.)
The mementos of a lost love spark cherished memories and episodes best forgotten.
SOUNDS GOOD (Kerri Lendon | USA | 4 min.)
When you’re having that talk that no one wants to have, even the most banal clichés and sounds can get a little distorted.
PLUG AND PLAY (Michael Frei | USA | 5 min.)
A playful animation in a black and white world of male and female plugs and cords, where the intermingling of light and dark equal the balance of power and love.
ON SUFFOCATION (Jennifer Malmqvist | 7 min.)
Love is dangerous and powerful, sometimes to the beholder, in this tragic political commentary, stunningly told without words.
TIRED OF SWIMMING (Anna Eijsbouts | 6 min.)
An old man is torn between the memory of his wife, a fish in a jar, and the reality of his lonely existence.
RPG OKC (Emily Carmichael | 9 min.)
Even video games fall in love.
HEAD OVER HEELS (Timothy Reckhart | 11 min.)
After years of marriage, Walter and Madge have grown apart: he lives on the floor and she on the ceiling. A little glimmer of hope that love can prevail through the ups and downs of life.
That’s My Majesty screens as official selection of the 18th Annual Heartland Film Festival.
Created in 1991, the festival celebrates “beautifully made films that celebrate the positive aspects of life.” For more about the festival, click here.
The Ghost and Us will be at LosCon this weekend! And I will be there as well. Check out their Facebook page for more info. It’s on Friday and Saturday. At Six. At the LAX Marriot. Now you basically have all the info.
In four minute bursts, and with only 256 colors (which close-up, still manage to evoke real pathos), she parses the loopholes of consciousness, the automation of society, fear of the unknown, and the habits we cling to that give us meaning.

I can make some sprites for you. My pixel art is all on my twitter page, not a giant portfolio but hopefully my style can work for you.

I’d be very interested, I do sprite artwork as a hobby and I’ve also done sprite illustrations for games. Samples can be found here:

Hello, My name is Tucker Johnson.
I do a lot of sprites for games and RPG’s, but I think it would be interesting to work on sprites for a video.
Here is an Imgur album with some of my pixel art work: http://imgur.com/a/vX6IX
I did have a question about the definition of “10” sprites. Does this mean 10 individual characters with several frames of animation, 1 character with 10 frames of animation, or 10 static sprites, etc.? It would also be nice to know about what size of sprites would be required.
If you have any further questions, or would like evidence that the pixel art in that album is mine, please feel free to send me an email at tucker.johnson.qcd@gmail.com .

Hi I would love to do your pixel art work for your 16-bit music video! I mainly do 3D modelling work but I started in the 2D pixel space.
Here are a few of my examples I did for a client:

Hi Emily and Friends,
I enjoyed viewing RPG OKC and The Adventures of Ledo and Ix, as well as a variety of your other intergalactic productions. I am a pixel artist working in 16-bit styles (etc), as well as a musician, filmmaker/editor and am interested in this opportunity. A variety of my work can be viewed at: moondragonstudios2.blogspot.com. For additional work examples and more info, please email me.
Excellent Regards,

Hey there,
I came across this on Reddit and if you are still in need of an artist, I’d love to do this project for you. You can see my pixel work on my Behance page that I’ve linked to. There are two projects that display some of my pixel work: Pixelation and Pixel Character Creation.
While there are currently no animated sprites in my portfolio, I have done them in the past. I believe my current work will give you a good idea of what I can do.
Thanks,
Chris
