Vinicius Costa “Special Guest: The Journey” Posted by Michelle Higa Brazilian director Vinicius Costa shows off some mixed media chops in his new short, “Special Guest: The Journey.” There’s a suitcase as cabinet of curiosities with flapping airplane, piano keyboard parking lot, and pink neuron climbing through a Dali-inspired landscape. It’s an endless, playful, stream of consciousness loop that rewards repeated viewings (are those people dancing in the front yard?). Costa’s debut film with 1st Avenue Machine-sibling Special Guest is in the studio’s tradition of having new directors create a film based on their idea of The Special Guest. From Costa: “It occurred to me that just looking at someone’s luggage could tell you a lot about the owner’s personality.” Director: Vinicius Costa Production Services: Animatorio Compositors: Vanderlei Santana and Rafael Antonelli Rotoscope: Vanderlei Santana, Rafael Antonelli, and Raiza Costa Stop Motion: Animatorio Audio: Omni Audium Posted on 17 February 2009 \| Tags: 1st ave machine, SpecialGuest, Stop-motion, surrealism, vinicius costa http://www.gabrielrocha.com gabriel.rocha Nice piece for sure.
