The Visitors 2: The Helping (2012)

For Animation II, the class was assigned to make a Chindogu project. It is a Japanese art of making a simple gadget that would solve everyday problems, but that gadget is really ridiculous. Mine was a face mask to protect you from people who sneeze and cough without covering their mouths! During production, I was violently ill with a cold. It was spring 2012, flu season was happening, and Disney's JOHN CARTER came out. With that, I decided to let the aliens make a comeback. I decided to make a sequel. When it was shown, I was better (no duh thanks to Alka-Seltzer).
Enjoy.

The Visitors (2009)

Get ready to get out of this world when two aliens try and communicate with Earthlings in this first attempt to combine live-action with stop-motion animation.


I made this for an Introduction to Animation assignment with Professor Dan Rowe at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.  I made this video to coincide with James Cameron's AVATAR because in 2009, a lot of movies with aliens are coming out back then. Also, what's with the 80's Atari video game-like graphics? There was 80's nostalgia going on back then.
