VIDEO: Raw Fish Knows What Time It Is · 2 October 06

...and then there were side projects…

Director Jason Ho and I just finished up a spot for KKT TV in Kumamoto.

The name? ‘Sushi Time.’ I do not kid. Chock full o’ half-Chinese dudes, British Indians, Scots, Americans, Japanese, and, uh, me.

6 minutes long, and I gaurantee the first and last 30 seconds will make you smile.

Embedded video below:


Sushi Time on Vimeo

Or watch it on YouTube .

The music during the animated intro is me tapping a drum machine over a canned sample of Japanese-y goodness. All other video magic happiness courtesy of Mr. Ho.

  8. So I smiled the whole way through—never thought eating sushi was so mulit-dimensional. :) Was that Tomago at the end?
