Synopsis
After hours. This is about unlocking the secrets in the galleries of Manhattan. The Arthouse players go beyond the realm and revel in this magical, mystical world.
Background
I had a lot of extra experimental painting stuff from the last film I did about MoMA (Night at the Museum). How could I use this in another film? I visited some of the other landmark NYC museums: Whitney, Guggenheim and the Met and tried to capture their individual appeal. With the Met it was big spacious rooms. The Whitney had its outdoor rooftops. The Guggenheim had its spiral flooring. So that took care of the how I was going to present the paintings. I added 3D characters to the mix to tie it all together. I called them the arthouse players. I always wanted to do choreography and this was my big chance. Musically I found some pieces to go with each museum and a Danny Elfman like piece for the finale.
