Here are a few Midnight Chimes videos where I make a cameo appearance.
Bitscreen.com Review: "Check out Rooster Tales for some simple but surprisingly enjoyable animations. Mick Cusimano uses basic Flash animations and the voices of friends to create these short videos. The site relies on clever writing, and it usually is. Kudos for effort and imagination! Check this one out, then go create some yourself, junior Spielbergs."
And while we’re talking about avant-garde animation can we briefly address the flash animation of Mick Cusimano?
"This guy’s either crazy or is working on a formal level so far above all of us - divine, possibly - that his work is simply baffling to us cinematic pretenders. Not seen here is his short Clowns on the Left, which I saw last year and is my sentimental favorite. Of comparable quality are Beethoven and Digging the Mummy, both of which are startling in their refusal to follow common conventions of animation such as dialogue synchronization, the non-linear movement of visual elements, and sanity. In a lot of ways, his films feel like the visual equivalent of word salads. The syntax is technically there, but it’s rendered invalid by the fallacies of incoherent semantics. There’s nothing else quite like it."
