The Video is Complete!

So, I've posted almost nothing in over a month because my life had been eaten up by a single project: animating the music video for "Chocolate" by (Latin American Grammy winners) Jesse & Joy. Here it is:

Jesse & Joy- "Chocolate" from Carlos Lopez Estrada on Vimeo.

The video was directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada, for London Alley Entertainment, and funded by Warner Music Mexico. It took us about three weeks of preproduction and a month of shooting. It is made up of 2,900 still photographs of custom made cookies, cookie crumbs, salt, and other edible goodies. By that, I mean there are no digital effects; we actually sat, lit, and slowly moved physical objects around the old fashioned way, with the help of Dragon Stop Motion. We were working our asses off. Want to see? Here's a behind-the-scenes:

So watch it. Enjoy it. And please send it to your friends for Digg submissions, StumbleUpon thumbs ups, and other means of internet validation. Maybe I'll actually get the big bucks for future projects once this gets some--and I hate to use this term, but--viral success.
