The Nebulans "What Are We Fighting For?"
Some stills from the 6 minutes stop-motion animation I made around 2003, "What Are We Fighting For?".
The Nebulans are DJ Joe, Mark, and Ace as guitarist, a 3 piece electro-rock band I created using G. I. Joe's while I was living in the perfect place for these kind of art creativity, the mystical magic island, Bali.

Those days, I was making a booklet-catalog for our clothing brand. I wanted to put some image pictures in between pages, and I was a bit tired of using computer graphics, so I picked up the idea of making up a real G.I. Joe band that I always wanted since I was a kid.
. . . It was around '83 in television, I saw a video performance of Radical TV ; two guys, controlling keyboards and a joy-stick kind of switches, synthesizers, bunch of monitor screens, serious looking electronic machines that I don't know, looked so k-ool to me. Could be the pioneer artists of VJ-ing. And, they had this small G.I. Joe Band on a box, performing in between them too! That was incredible, I mean those little dolls were moving, synchronized with music, having an electronic censor inside. It only made simple left-to-right or up-and-down movements, therefore it was an amazing performance . . .
I made the turn table sets from a TV remote, broken DAT cassettes, some yogurt containers, pick-up arms with rusty nails, and some junks I found in my tool box.
The figure is from the Japanese toy company Takara, Combat Joe World War 2 soldier. I bought around '83 in a shop in Tokyo.
After shooting photos, one day I thought, why not make them move?
Now I am re-editing and retouching the frames one by one, erasing the wire stands I used for keeping them standing.
Will upload the new director's cut version as soon as I finish.
