SDSU Welcomes PES

PES: Animator and Filmmaker

Known as PES, the filmmaker and animator presents his unique work and ingenious creative processes. His work has been featured in national commercial spots and independent shorts have been viral sensations on the web.  His recent short "Western Spaghetti" was awarded an honorable mention prize at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.

PES's playful film style and connection between object and the theme it represents is a visual treat. And even after repeat viewings, the viewer can see just how thorough and careful PES is with the choice, placement and animation of the objects. It's not just ordinary stop-motion, it's a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the creative processes that go into such meticulous work. The kind of planning and conceptualization that occurs in animation like this can be applied to other media. It's all in the concept.
