All I Want For Xmas Is Happy Memories (Glug competition entry) from Robert Francis Muller on Vimeo

This is my first attempt at a stop frame animation. I shot it on a Nikon D70 and put it together in Photoshop. I made the audio loop and sound effects in Logic.

It is my entry to Glug Londons’ Xmas design competition. The theme of the competition is “All I want for Xmas is…” I thought about it for a while and ruled out all the obvious responses. I thought about it on a more personal level and that the memories of Xmas stand out over everything else for me.

The majority of the set is made up of original Xmas decorations from my child hood. The small toys hanging on the tree were made by my mother over 30 years ago. The tree is over 20 years old and still hasn’t broken and the nut cracker is hand made from Germany and is also more than 20 years old.

Paper cutting isn’t just for playschool. Rob Ryan shows us all up.
Very nice.

Very nice idea - well realised which is just about the greatest thing i’ve seen all morning,

Barcinski-jeanjean are from Amsterdam and they have some great work to boot.

Faile (pronounced “fail”) are a collective based in New York. Formed in 1999 they are referred (by some) as pioneers of global contemporary street art. Founding members Patrick McNeil, Patrick Miller and Aiko Nakagawa have evolved from wheatpasting screen printed posters on streets into permanent pieces of artwork combining stencil, graf, stickers and paint. The work is stunning and the venue, an old school on the verge of being demolished; surreal.

The show is curated by Lazarides gallery and is well worth the trip.
