Journey To Flonaplonadon
Journey To Flonaplonadon is the story of Andromeda Pinkenstein, a musician seeking the truth about her home planet, Flonaplonadon. One of her bandmates, Mo 93, claims that he created Andromeda in a genetic engineering class at night school. He has always told her that Flonaplonadon was an imaginary planet, implanted into her memory. She refuses to believe it, and decides to take Mo and her other bandmates to Flonaplonadon. However, she doesn’t know how to get there by spaceship, so she must design a special device to transcend normal space. The device is successful, but events following their arrival at Flonaplonadon are beyond all expectations.

In 2010, I downloaded some animation software. I’m a bit of a software junkie, and this stuff was very interesting. I didn’t expect much to come from it. I just wanted to play around with it to see how it worked. However, before long I created some characters, and they sparked a lot of ideas, so I ended up writing a screenplay based on the characters. It was feature length, and I knew it would take me a few years to make the movie, since I would be doing all of the work myself.
I wanted to learn as many aspects of the animation process as I could. I also wanted to work on my own time, so a solo project, as a self-designed study course seemed to be the right move. I'd already had several years of experience in filmmaking as a composer and editor, so I had a good head start.
Five years later, it was completed. The movie is entitled "Journey To Flonaplonadon." It is an animated sci-fi musical, featuring my characters, Spaceport Surfers… they're the band from the future on a distant planet in a parallel universe.
