Shake dat ass!

Back in 2009 I worked on this campaign for an evening of concerts at Leopardstown (who are a lovely group of chaps and chapettes). The job was ultimately a success. But, in my mind, from a design point of view, it was a failure (hence you won’t be seeing the finished job on this site). It’s a long sad story, buy me a beer sometime, I’ll tell you all about it. So instead of leaving a gaping hole in my portfolio where this project should have been I’ve decided to fill it with the preliminary work, which I was really excited about and I’m still quite proud of.

A little background first, these visuals were created to be used in a flash site where the user could insert a photo of their own face or a friend’s onto a jockey. The jockey would then sit astride on of the fabulously elaborate horses as the horse danced to the music of one of the bands who would be playing over the course of the concert series. Unfortunately none of this work ever saw the light of day. UNTIL TODAY!! (fanfare, trumpets, lutes, accordions, xylophones and a welsh mens choir from the valleys). Prepare to have your eyeballs melted by the most blinged out horse you’ve ever seen!
