The Big Boy Room

By Creede on Jul 22, 2009 under Tags: , , ,

Th Big Boy Room from Creede on Vimeo.

With the birth of our daughter two months ago, we needed to move our 2 year old out of the nursery and into his own “big boy room” downstairs. We decided to have a little fun with the room and had my good friend Tony paint a mural of “Where the Wild Things Are” on the wall. We finished it off by gluing down some Flor carpet tiles. The “video” is really a series of photographs, one taken every 30 seconds and played back at 24 photo’s a second. A total of 6,357 photo’s were taken, representing over 54 hours of work. A huge thank you goes out to Tony who did an amazing job. The video doesn’t really do the mural justice. You can see some close up pictures of the mural on my flicker account.

    Great job on the room! I hope the upcoming movie will be kid-friendly so I can take my son to it. We are on our third copy of Wild Things :)

    So. Freaking. Sweet.

    Love when other people enter the pics (and then disappear just as quick)! The mural is amazing — HIGH quality work here.

    And let’s face it…you can’t go wrong w/ Radiohead.

    So great! It really was amazing to watch it unfold on the video–I watched it twice! And I agree that you can’t go wrong with a Thom Yorke soundtrack.

    This is absolutely amazing work. Watching an artist take something from a conceptual drawing on paper and turn it into a work of art is a real joy. Something that I hope your son will enjoy for years to come.
