AA&NN presents
Paola Perea's Cruz de Marta Revisited
Accompanied by
Brahams Hungarian Dance No1 in G Minor
Starring Paloma González , Kennie Narváez and Tania Díaz
Written & directed by Paola Perea Produced by Paola Perea & Tania Díaz
Production Assistant Christian Y’ Candelario
Photographed & edited by Ioannes Busca
Shot in Puerto Rico in 2012 | revisited in 2016
Revisited edition of CRUZ DE MARTA, a horror short film written and directed by Paola Perea, shot in 2012.
I always wanted to revisit this footage from the Cruz de Marta short film I shot back in the day with some friends in Puerto Rico. The story is basically the same as the original release in which I did't work as editor. For this new version I opted to omit the dialogues and re-edit it completely so that that footage fits Brahams Hungarian Dance in it's entirety. No any other sound is added so it can be considered a classic music video, I guess.
The first season of Edframed that ran from November 21, 2011 to January 14, 2012 was published today in book format in Basque, Spanish and English languages. This edition includes the fifty-five daily comic strips from that period and a special introduction.
●BASQUE EDITION● EdFramed 1: Lehenengo denboraldia
This comic was supposed to end with the election of the President of Spain on the general elections that took place on December 20, 2015 but the results turned out so fragmented that there isn't a clear winner yet. At first, I decided to make this comic a weekly series and continue with this story for a while but then life happened and well...
Cover design for a set of two 8-disc boxes that collect the 16 feature films directed by the Coen Brothers.
It's a shame how most of the DVDs and Blu-ray discs released nowadays are presented in cheap plastic cases with huge holes, no booklets and many times horrible cover art. We already owned many of the Coen brother's movies on blu-ray so I thought it would be great to complete their filmography in a more convenient way. I chose the affordable Viva Elite 8 disc boxes to fit the 16 films the Coen's have directed to this day. I've organized them chronologically and for the cover art I used the original movie posters and rewrote the credits included in therein, so they could be readable. The two boxes together measure just the same as four single disc boxes so shelve space is not wasted and there is nothing to miss, because the films didn't come with any kind of special booklets or cool cover artwork.
Illustration for a 50x70cm poster presented for the cover of the activity program of the San Miguel festivities in Oñati. Not selected.
This was a sketch of a short story about 'Txorimaloak', the bigheaded carnival figures that follow the kids around the town during the festivities, I hope to finish it one of this days.
New Logo design for Laino Mehe, a comunity of comic enthusiasts from Basque Country who's will is to inform about new publications in Basque language as well as translate classics works to this minority language in which very few comics are published.
'Laino Mehe' means 'Thin Cloud' in Basque so I couldn't though in none other than the most famous cloud in comics history, even it's pretty thick. I hope Laino Mehe grows thicker everyday.
Front and back illustration of a T-shirt for KALEBLOK, an urban climbers community from Oñati.
KALEBLOK is a group of climbers that once a year go hangout on the streets of Oñati and climb in the walls and balconies along the streets. That is what they've told me they do because I've never seen them in action. Their motto in basque is "Siñistu ta Txipittu" that means Believe and Destroy. The t-shirts were silk screen printed.
FROZEEN.COM web concept and design. Developed by Aaron Busca.
I was looking for a way to publish my comics on the Internet. I didn't like social media platforms too much and I couldn't find a proper blog template to do what I had in mind. I wanted to show my comics in multiple languages and read them on displays of any size from small to big. Then, my brother was able to majestically develop this idea that was spinning in my head: A platform for publishers and artist to publish their comics. For the time being, I use this alpha version to share Ian Nose's my comics and a side project Laino Mehe. Hopefully one day we will be able to launch it so that anybody can make a good use of it!

This drawing is based on a photograph taken by Steph & Noelis in Ponce in 2012. Fifty years later, Steph continues taking photographs but has changed the skateboard for a modern rocket backpack. Noelis on the other hand is now equipped with a Portable Medical Laboratory Unit. I am the ball floating around. You don't want to know what happened to me.
Logo and name design for the Amazon Marketplace & eBay online store Azaar Bazaar.
The expression of the guy in the logo represents the happiness of having sold something and making someone happy as well as receiving money for that. The tear coming out from the guys eye represents the sadness when you let go something that you like just because you need the money. If you realize the two eyes and the nose are made with an 'R' an 'L' and a 'P' meaning 'Random Limited Products' as this is primarily a used stuff store with limited availability of a diversity of products.
ChronOtomo project and web, concept and design. HTML and CSS tinkering by Aaron Busca.
This project started just a year ago with ChronOtomo: Katsuhiro Otomo Chronology facebook page. During this time, we have realized that this platform wasn't the most appropriate for this kind of project. Today we launched the website version. For the past year we have been collecting and publishing as much information about Katsuhiro Otomo's works as we could, and despite we are still a long way from completion, we've already published more than 500 posts and 700 images. All this material is now collected in ChronOtomo: Katsuhiro Otomo Chronology in a more convenient way, making use of links and tags so that the exploration of the many books and illustrations is much more pleasing.
ABOUT
Katsuhiro Otomo (大友克洋) tribute page that highlights his works and publications chronologically. Born on April 14, 1954 in Miyagi, Japan, Katsuhiro Otomo made his debut as a manga artist in 1973 with Jūsei and for over almost half a century to this day, he has created thousands of manga pages, illustrated essays, and illustrations. He has also directed worldwide renown animated and live action films.
We realized that when AA-AND-NN is written, it makes the already confusing and hard to spell name hard to recognize at a glance, so we thought it needed to be changed; this time we made use of the '&' and replaced the typography so that the overall logo had a much cleaner look.
We did this video one afternoon after class with our cat Rasputin, I thought he was going to be more whiling to work with us but the truth is he doesn't like cameras too much.

A improvised performance by Jhalon T. Cherry, recorded in the basketball court of Torre Norte student dorms.
We were playing some basketball that afternoon and recording ourselves with a cell phone trying to dunk when Jhalon, that always has a funny story to tell up his sleeve, improvised this. He is a natural born story teller. I always tell he him that he should pursue a performing career.
Short film directed by Luisa Touassa and written by Paola Perea. ROSA DE PAPEL is a student film in which I collaborated as the camera operator and poster graphic designer for the cinema production class with professor Carlos H. Malavé in the the University of Puerto Rico.

I found Neil stuck to a tree while I was visiting 'El Yunque' rainforest. I took it with me and feed it for one or two weeks in my dorm while I shot this video. Then a friend of mine who was going back to the rainforest took it back to his habitat. I wonder where is it now.

The only rule the teacher gave us this time was that it had to be one continuous shot. No cuts. We were the same group that did the Scape video a few weeks ago so we decided to relate this new one to the old in a certain way. Thanks must be given to all the friends that featured on it for helping us, specially to the two main actors.

I think the only rule we had when shooting this video was to keep it simple. But I really don't remember how we end up doing this. We improvised a lot, as usual.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Ioannes likes cinema and video editing more than structures. He came to Madrid from Oñati (Gipuzkoa) in 2003 to study architecture. He is living with his cousin in Leganés, to save expenses, and travels every day to the capital. “I made a calculation on how much I expended per month in transportation. My travel expenses were 70€. The one-month train travel pass cost me 30€. The other 40€ were the metro pass to conmute from Prinicipe Pío to the university. I decided to save those 40€ and buy a bike by installments instead ”, he tells from the patio of the university mounted on his BMX. Thus, in July 2011 he bought his small BMX. If he would do that calculation now, he would choose to switch to the wheels even faster.
Pedaling on a BMX is not easy. The short distance between the saddle and the pedals makes it necessary to stand up most of the time. “These bikes were mythical when I was a kid. In my town we called them "Motoretas" and they seemed super cool to us; I haven't ridden in one since I was 11, ” he exclaims, staring blankly into his school cafeteria. His technique is based on pedaling and sliding; on the slopes he makes legs, climbs to the top and then lets himself go. “It is a different bike. I don't know if I would recommend it but right now I wouldn't change it ”, he admits.
Seven installments of his travel pass made Ioannes the owner of his BMX. “I use it for short distances. At first, I didn't feel like going between cars and I was on the sidewalk, ” he says. But after a while, Madrid's traffic did not seem as chaotic as that of Mexico D.F. where he spent six months studying. The volume of cars in the capital of the North American country is not comparable to that of Madrid. "There, despite the distances and the saturation of cars, many people dare to ride a bicycle," he recalls as he looks back at infinity.
Retratos en Bici 'Portraits in bikes' is a section of I LOVE BICIS that wants to reflect the diversity, in images, of cyclists in Madrid. Moeh Atitar, a fellow El País journalist and photographer, carries the camera. The idea for the section came after the interview with Dmitri Gudkov, a photographer based in New York, who, in February 2010, began a series of portraits of citizens of the North American city with his bike. He gives each image the hashtag #BikeNYC. This is, with our style, #BikeMAD.

Performance shot in the ETSAM architecture school in Madrid with the first year students class of DAI 2 (Drawing Analyzing and Ideation 2) with professor Atxu Amann, submitted to the contest 'Video Talentos' organized by Fundacion Banco Santander and OpenBank.
That was my second semester as teacher assistant with professor Atxu Amann and among the multiple things we did during that semester, one of the coolest was this contest entry developed by the whole class based upon an idea by Inés Sell that was previously selected by popular vote. I don't really know how close the final video is to what she had in mind. Even we had 5 or 6 cameras recording the performance the final footage was terrible, but somehow we manage to make a video out of it.
