My website's undergoing significant structural changes and it's going to take some serious time. Consequently, the blog's on vacation and project pages may look a little sloppy. There are some new projects though, so poke around.
These are introductory bumpers I made for all the 2nd-Year students in the 2d department at Cranbrook for presentations that we had to make last fall. The type is an animated version of the Slitscan Typeface Generator that I made last spring.
Here’s the soundtrack for the vids. All music is used without permission as it was for educational use:
that was thoroughly enjoyable. great concept.
love it man! awesome
Your fucked up, I really like some of this stuff. It’s somewhat similar to stuff that I do, which means it’s pretty crazy.
I’d be interested to see what your “pretty crazy” stuff is like. Is it online anywhere?
I dig on it.
awesome…were the pictures taken at cranbrook?
Yep, everything was done at Cranbrook.
Hey, I was just browsing the Internet and put my name into google search and your site came up :p
So I’m assuming your name is Jonathan Keller too. Awesome. XD
Like your vid, love your art, your whole page is pretty sweet. I’ve got some of my art up on my site in the ‘my drawings’ album, but I’ve just began a three year program at Ai in Charleston for Graphic Design. Anyway, keep it up

A little bit of google navel-gazing I see…
I couldn’t find the drawings on your myspace page, but good luck with your studies.
I would love to have some detail on how you did this, and if you would not mind, try it and use my own ideas. If so please tell me

I mostly used Adobe After Effects to create the video. The type was created using Illustrator and its scripting functionality.
Congratz in this amazing page m8, what program u use to create that vid.
I shot people jumping using a camera that could capture at 60 frames per second. Then, I took the 4-8 frames at the top of each jump, slowed them down in After Effects so, when looped, the clips would sync with the sound.
fantastic video concept- and thankyou for revealing the 60fps fact… there is a surreal quality to it [mr littles belly as a prime example] that comes as a mixture of the idea being soo simple, yet the image produced seemingly difficult to create- it immediately made me wonder why I hadn’t been exposed to this sort of motion before [sans tennisballlinecallinginstantreplay] – I’m not quite sure I agree with the pace of the type… possibly mimicking the a->b->a action of the vid would help the two blend? i think the best type treatment was given to the first clip – light colors on the dark bg, with it sitting below the figure rather than overlapping. and this was just a critique proving that i apparently have too much time on my hands.
seriously, the projects/concepts you touch seem to turn into gold, and i hate you for that very reason. so keep up the excellent work… cheers
Yeah. Great experiment (gif-stopmotion-photo). Fantastic website too.
I’ve been looking at a bunch of your projects today and I just wanted to tell you – You Made My Day! Your art is fantastic! Honest, gripping, and in-your-face. This video had me laughing my ass off!
It brought back fantastic memories of my time @ School of Visual Arts in NYC and inspired me to get back in touch w/ my inner artist!
Thanks for the inspiration brother! Keep on creating!
