DESMONDINDI
In
2002 Niffer Desmond established DesmondIndi
as a production company for animated video
projects and related works. DesmondIndi launched
number of successful animated videos both
on its own and with partners from 2002-2004
(See Motion: Projects). Since then the company
has expanded in scope, building on Niffer's
unique design and animation style to offer
interactive design, titles and animated sequences
for clients.
The name comes from an early writing alias
that disguised Niffer's Celtic last name to
one of Indian origin; It also works as an
analogue to "Indie" tacked on to
her real name. And at DesmondIndi we're all
about keeping it real- making original, independant
visions into reality. |

BIO for NIFFER DESMOND
 Niffer
makes her multi-disciplinary home in San Francisco.
Many mediums pass through her oeuvre; most
especially puppetry, miniatures, animation,
and effects. She often combines these multiple
techniques as in “Fear and Fun with
Fish” , her 2003 puppet short confronting
food and the internal world.
Niffer
holds a BA in Photography from UC Santa
Cruz and trained in digital special effects
at Pixel Corps. A self taught filmmaker,
she has applied her restive talents to interactive
children’s software, video slot machines
and rock n’ roll videos. In 2004 she
was commissioned to make a mini movie for
the esoteric band ‘The Residents’
using stop motion puppets. Her movie shorts
have screened in festivals around the world.
Niffer is currently working as a freelance
designer and director, applying her unique
visual style to projects in multiple media.
