Where does your inspiration come from?
The usual... food. Good food. Cheese pizza
and root beer. Alien implanted visions.
How did you get involved in web design?
Work. Evil chickens forced me at gunpoint
to learn how to web design back in '97.
I worked with Dino, the Bert IS an evil
guy; so that's how I was introduced to the
web. The Philippines has a very small design
industry, to survive one has to be good
at everything. So first, I designed for
print, then web, and now video.
What are some of the frequent themes
in your videos?
It depends on what's required... but usually
I want to put in a bit of a story and not
just "eye candy."
Most of your videos revolve around Asian
culture music. Which are some of the events,
television programs, and music bands, you
have created art for?
I've created plugs for "Pulp Magazine."
"Pulp" is the biggest Philippines'
music mag. It's sort of a cross between
"Rolling Stones" and "Raygun."
For the rest it's best to refer to my video
folio page (www.littlerocket.net/avid/video),
the list is quite short.
What do you consider the latest online
trend among Philippine designers (e.g. colors,
themes, animals...)?
It's a worldwide trend I guess... those
arrows and techno abstract 3D shapes. Did
you notice that most flash intros have great
visuals, but cheesy copy that would make
you and I cringe. It's like "welcome to
my vision" (cue in techno music).... (laughs).
Although it's all good.
Do you draw cartoons for your videos?
examples?
I do, but none of them have been of
commercial use yet.
Have you considered directing a full
scale music video?
I have, and will be working on a couple
more. My full video debut is "I'm Sorry,"
a combination of live and stop motion. This
music video is heavy on narrative.
Which are your other online projects?
Rocketsheep.net, an online doodle collective.
I also have commercial projects there too.
