In fact, I wrote the following post earlier, but I already promised in it that I would share this as well. Since the language we’re working with in Neonnutria is quite a jumble, I thought it would make sense to create a booklet that can be flipped through while we babble in Hungarian.
We are actively working at the Community Participation Office to increase the number of public restrooms in Budapest. This short/fast animation is meant to promote our new program, in which bars, pubs, and community spaces can sign up to become public restrooms in exchange for a small sum of money.
Oh, I wasn’t even supposed to be the one doing this, but I fought for it a bit because I really wanted it to be nice and not just at the usual Józsefváros comms team level.
Since our Exit polloska performance, I’ve had some emotional attachment to the topic anyway. So, this is how it turned out, and I love it.
Oh, and fun fact: JGK people refer to it as ‘The Horrors leaflet.’ They think it’s terrifying.
I know Peti and Ricsi(Péter Mendel and Richárd Melykó) from the Freeszfe Association’s “Theater and Performance” department. I had the opportunity to admire both of their work at the 2023 Tokyo Sunrise Festival. “We would like to draw our dear audience’s attention” and “Massa Orbit” were both excellent, so I was very pleased when they asked me to create the visuals for their performance titled “MEME,” which was presented at the Under500 festival. The piece, not surprisingly, was about memes.
Well, the first one is my huge favorite from the campaign (fun to make-fun to watch),
but I'm also including a few other visual materials that I did/liked.
Gyuri announced campaign soccer to the residents of Józsefváros,
although he usually plays basketball.
There is also a not-so-hidden joke in it, which most people didn't find :)
I like the second one because of the wink (right at the begining!):
This is the image film Piko, I did the animated parts in it, and I assisted Gergó (Gergő Pápai) with the filming and editing. Fun fact: He included us with Luckó in the film, even though I didn’t insist on us.
In 2019, I helped András Pikó’s campaign team from the outside, then I worked a lot with the campaign magazine. This year – as a local government employee – as time went by, I got more and more involved in the matter. At first I only produced the visual materials of one of my friends (disclaimer: currently elected representative), then I also got involved in the production of the main campaign film for Piko (disclaimer: re-elected, left-wing, socially sensitive mayor). It is probably mandatory to say: I prepared all materials strictly after working hours.
I really like the work of Átlátszó, we have worked side by side before
(Erőnek erejével: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paL7QSf9kc4&t=25s, whatever),
however, I was able to work on their spring fundraising campaign now <3.
I did the animated parts and the inserts.
Tózsa Mikolt’s performance at Artus. I initially took over the projection,
but slowly started shaping it to my own taste. It was a two-location,
fast-paced projection in Artus’ large factory building, with a lot of nudity and shouting.
Another Siketfajd miracle! We wanted to give the promotion for the March concert a little spin, so we did a short piece about Sebi going down to play football with his locust friend in the housing estate, but it all goes wrong in the end.
Actually, the video itself is a wrap up for me, I’ve condensed the most important elements of the 2023 visuals into it <3
The truth is that this year turned out a bit differently for the Siketfajd project than I expected, but more on that later. The big plan for this year was to max out the analog-digital-analog-digital transformation or journey. So, I had planned to make a booklet for every concert out of the videos I wanted to play, and during the concert, by applying all kinds of effects and cameras, I would have turned the once-digital, then analog materials back into digital ones (and this would have been a cycle: for the next concert, I would have re-digitalized the analogized digital recordings, and then analogized the digitalized recordings, HÖHÖ MINDFUCK 🙂 ). Returning to the original thought, this year turned out that several times the timing wasn’t right, we couldn’t do projections, Szabi decided he wanted fewer concerts, and now, on top of that, Czitrom has quit. (Actually I’m writing this post in October.)
