"Pee Wee's Psychedelic Adventure"

2013-05-16T16:18:06.244Z

Through the magical combination of music, cameraless animation, and a digital transfer of scratched, painted, dyed, and drawn on, 35mm film stock, Pee Wee Herman & Cowboy Curtis (Laurence Fishburne) are transported beyond the fourth wall on a psychedelic adventure at Pee Wee's Playhouse. This is an experimental art film that laughs at itself while exploring alternative realities on multiple levels. The source material 35mm roll of film was one I had left over from my days as an animation DP (Director of Photography) in the 80's and 90's. All the art-on-film animation was created by myself and five students (Shannon Brice, Alleanna Harris, Ben Howell, Bianca Lott, & Austin Myers) from my 2013 Object Animation class at U-Arts in Philadelphia.
The film to digital transfer was done at Technicolor, Postworks in NYC.
The music is a live performance of the song "4 to 6 or 25" written and performed by Anonymous

Made from the 16mm film shot for "Trouble" by my 2002 Experimental and Stop Motion Animation classes at Pratt. The film was enhanced by processing it through an Oxberry animation stand camera as a bi-packed contact print. New animation was added via a random methodology I call collaborative chaos.
