HAIRY POUTER

HAIRY POUTER

HAIRY POUTER, a film designed entirely by AI. Directed by Chris Carboni. Sound by Ambrose Yu. Music by Charles Di Raimondo. Lillian is 98. She just finished reading HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE. This is her book review as interpreted by an AI image generator. We wanted our visuals to be infused with the same unexpected interpretive qualities found in Lillian’s descriptions. The goal was to take a beloved, iconic story known the world over and put it in the hands of possibly the only two collaborators with the ability to spin it into something new. Lillian’s creative recap of this familiar story is taken through a funhouse hall of mirrors by inputting her prompts into an AI image generator without any added context that might guide it’s interpretation toward the original source material. And thus, a new classic is born. We’ll let the world decide which version is best. To learn more about our process and to view a trove of additional artwork created for this project, visit reunion.xyz/hairy-pouter Additional magic can be found on our IG as well - @reunion.xyz @_chriscarboni_

OFFF Vienna 'Repeater' - Title Film

OFFF Vienna 'Repeater' - Title Film

We are so proud and excited to share 'Repeater', the vibrant animated Title Film to OFFF Dach’s creativity and design festival in Vienna. Directed by Carbon's Ian Bradley, and with live orchestra music and sound design from Antfood, it’s a tale of non-conformity and rejection that builds to a kaleidoscopic ceremony and the uplifting power of finding your place. We hope you love it as much as we do. ‘Repeater’ is the story of a world in which creatures speak in symbols and can turn those symbols into realities. A ruling class of Sayers forces Repeaters to only speak in squares, creating endless cubes with which the Sayers can build their towers. One Repeater, banished from their tower for creating a forbidden anomaly, wanders the wastelands and discovers a band of misfit rebels in the midst of a wild ceremonial ritual. Joining them, they discover the true potential of these forbidden forms to change their world. carbonvfx.com/offf Conjured And Crafted by Carbon Written And Directed by Ian Bradley Music And Sound Design by Antfood Assistant Director / Head of CG - Frank Grecco Executive Producer - Phil Linturn Executive Creative Director - Liam Chapple Senior Producer - Krystle Timm CG Supervisor - Dan Fine VFX Supervisor - Tobey Lindback FX Supervisor - Ryan Hussain Art Direction and Design - Ian Bradley, Claudio Araos Marincovic, Felipe Fiori, Kim Dulaney, Lena Vargas, Katrina Zimmerman, Reece Parker, Megan Palero 2D Animation - Katrina Zimmerman, Reece Parker, Peiter Hergert, Mikhail Pakhomov, Lizzi Akana, Carolina Lopez Corominas, Jahmad Rollins 3D Animation - Anthony Travieso, Han Hu, Jean-Luc Delhougne, Kevin Nguyen, Sam Gierasimczuk Compositors - Fred Kim, Jen Howard CG Artists - Martin Gunnarsson, Chin Lee, Ivan Joy, Alex Rumsa, Katie Heady, Dan Moreno, Eric Xu, Mike Penny, Sean Skube, Sylvia Apostol Colorist - Julien Biard Executive Producer, Color - Laurie Adrianopoli Producer, Color - Dan Butler Color Assist - Cassie Benedict Resource Manager - Beth Skopp Production Coordinator - Mariette Amici Antfood Composers - Wilson Brown, Yuta Endo, Rory White, Charley Van Veldhoven, Dalton Harts Sound Design - Wilson Brown, Yuta Endo, Pedro Botsaris, Rory White, Bennett Eiferman Executive Producer - Sue Lee Senior Producers - Jennifer Fife, Trevor Haimes Executive Creative Director - Wilson Brown Creative Director - Yuta Endo Orchestrator - Adam Klemens Orchestra - Smecky Orchestra Special Thanks - Tessa Treanor, Wilson Brown, Thomas Keeley, Lauren Malis, Whitehouse Post

Cast Out With Love

Cast Out With Love

The Poetic Reconstruction of a Cornish Gansey, from Sheep to Sea. The traditional Cornish Gansey is a uniform for fishermen and sailors dating back to the 18th Century. They are a link between our heritage industries, a feat of engineering, constructed mainly by women. It is a complex piece with considered features, technical for the time, made to keep our men and now women safe and warm during their long days at sea. This project documents the reconstruction of a Gansey. From sheep to sea; shearing, processing, dying, knitting and fishing, in an attempt to bring awareness to the work that goes into these revered pieces. Elevating transparency in supply chains, unveiling the hidden figures, the craftsmanship, shifting gender roles, the romance, heart and soul that runs through each and every jumper. It was a collaboration between so many, friends old and new, each contributing something incredibly special to the project.

Ghosts

Ghosts

This is the most complete and extended opus from the ongoing series, exploring complexity emergence, based on the feedback loops. Multidomain image-to-image transforming neural network StarGAN2 has been used here recurrently, reprocessing its own output without additional inputs. The models have been trained on both figurative imagery and abstract art, to enrich and intensify visual & semantic experience. Moreover, part of the training data was synthetic itself: few source datasets were generated with custom StyleGAN2 models, adding another layer of mediation to distance even farther from the real. What we eventually get is an ever-changing shape-shifting loosely controlled abstract flux, which appears more lifelike and expressive on its own, than obscure resemblance of the origin flesh, stuck in neural convolutions.

When the Trees Come

In Iceland where trees are starting to grow over the barren landscape as the glaciers melt, rumors are spreading over the playground that with the trees the werewolves are coming back! One night young Þröstur wakes to find blood in the bedsheets of his 13 year old sister... could it be, his own sister, a werewolf? The tale of menstruation as one of magic and fairytales and not of suffering.

HOW TO MAKE A MAGAZINE

Episode 3 of our magazine "Hometown Journal" takes a scenic voyage through time, from the past to the future, revealing creative perspectives on social classes and norms. It is meant to educate and unify, lifting taboos on unspoken topics that concern all of us. Get Episode 3 of our magazine here: www.hometownjournal.eu With this film, we have set ourselves the goal of bringing the process of printing back into our consciousness. The fast-moving nature of the Internet has many advantages, but it also has certain disadvantages. The state of the eternal, the imperishable, and the analog have attracted us since we started making films and we wanted to combine these goals with bookbinding and filmmaking. This film was made possible with the energy and skill of our friends: 2nd Camera/Camera Assistants Mo Schinn & Zoé Paula, Colorist Christian Richter, Title Design Zoé Paula, Music Max Marius Dick and Band & Stckman with Kyle Quest and Bone Slim, Sounddesign Henric Schleiner.
