Welcome back, viewers.
Today we have a double dose of artistry for you. I believe most people have some sort of artistic talent and it’s just a matter of finding out what it is. We’re here to show you what happens when people express their art forms WORLD OF DEATH style!
First, we have an animated short called INSPIRATION by Ustin Danchuck. This one is about an award-winning artist who was in an accident and lost his legs. He hits rock bottom and eventually finds his muse once again. Only this time, it rears its ugly head in a new form of art. One that is both vengeful and practical. I love the animation in this short. It’s creepy and foreboding and borders certain abstract qualities, creating a nightmarish reality that draws you in. It carries certain meta qualities, as the film itself is a work of art, displaying the talents of filmmakers and animators alike. It’s a good way to start today’s episode and serve as a muse for all of us going forward.
Next up, rapper and director Pete Navarro brings us MICROPHONE. In this vignette, an aspiring rapper steps up to a microphone in his studio to mess around and record a little something. Suddenly, a familiar voice starts answering him back in his headphones using the same art of hip hop. Suddenly, we have a rap battle for the ages and decisions must be made in dire situations. This is a clever and ambitious film with a real message in mind. This is like 8 Mile meets Bedazzled with a horror twist. Props to Pete Navarro and his finely crafted art of rapping. I love the idea of blending your own talents with something you love like horror. Way to use our genre as a vehicle for something other than showing off a pair of tits or bad CGI.
Have fun, kiddies. I hope you’re all inspired tonight.
Roll it!
