Johnny Kelly: Procrastination Posted by Justin Cone “Procrastination is playing imaginary computer games with your furniture.” Quite possibly my favorite line/visual so far in 2008. I cannot say enough good things about this brilliant and ceaselessly surprising short from Johnny Kelly (Nexus Productions). It’s a marathon of visual permutations that never gets tiring, even after repeat viewings. Johnny created “Procrastination” for his MA in animation at the Royal College of Art. It also won the Jerwood Moving Image Award. Posted on 8 April 2008 \| http://www.monovich.com monovich guilty on all counts including the very activity I’m engaged in. What an amazing piece. http://www.growdesignwork.com brandj Gorgeous. Getting off the internets now. http://www.briangossett.com briangossett uh-mazing! http://www.creativellabz.com Alessandro great all around, loved the self-referential quality, and the ending was just brilliant. “Procrastination is… not knowing how to finish something.” i’d say he found the perfect way. skeletor Go wan the Irish! Yeeehoo! barret wow. This is so goods, words fail to describe it. I’m almost crying here. http://bocamotion.tv boca Way to go Johnny, I knew it was only a matter of time before it got around!!! His previous animated short “Shelly” is also pretty sweet (and it was a finalist in the Animation category at the 2007 ADAA). Cheers! Boca Slot Hi. This is an amazing piece in any case. But I think I saw something a little like this by Lev Yilmaz in youtube. http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=4P785j15Tzk Tho the concepts looks quite the same to me (voice over, theme, etc…) , the motion work by Johnny is farther superior. Congrats! motionographer This piece is visually exciting at moments. Unfortunately it combines a well-worn subject matter with melodrama. I’m sure no one will agree with me on this one, but it’s heavy-handed tone makes it feel cheesy to me. http://justincone.com justin Just for the record: the last commenter (“motionographer”) is not Motionographer. Probably pretty obvious, but I just wanted to make sure. K, thanks. :-) motionographer Whoops, I didn’t realize there might be confusion. I will stop commenting using this handle. http://justincone.com justin Hahaha a_lurv “Procrastination is petting something”…rriiiggght. Well I guess you could call it that. http://www.solid-creative.com Paul Ducco Motionographer is procrastination. Great piece. http://www.liliandarmono.com Lilian Hmph! pairing your socks is good useful fruitful labour! i disagree. http://www.lazymovie.com zeniamai (Tear) “Procrastination is drinking a cup of tea”. “Procrastination is planning a fire exit.” I’m guilty for most of it… Truly an amazing piece.
