Work
Before working on Adult Swim, Resnick was famous for creating the popular YouTube web series, Alantutorial. Gizmodo called Resnick's video "ARM tutorial" one of the "weirdest videos on the internet". In 2014, Resnick premiered a set of new media art pieces in collaboration with artist Lesser Gonzalez, at the Springsteen Gallery in Baltimore, MD.
Resnick is the co-creator and Director of Adult Swim's This House Has People in It, and co-director of Unedited Footage of a Bear and Live Forever as You Are Now with Alan Resnick. In the latter piece, Resnick plays a "hot young tech wizard" promising immortality via a recreation of the patron's personality and face inside a computer program. Principal photography for the infomercial was conducted in the Copycat Building during the summer of 2013.
Resnick is the author of $8.95, a book of online customer service chats between Resnick and Bank of America in which Resnick pleads to recover his eponymous bank fee. Resnick directed the music video for Dan Deacon's "Guilford Avenue Bridge" and Lower Dens.
Since the site launched in 2014, Resnick has been a contributing writer for The Onion's sister publication, ClickHole.
In 2014, Resnick filmed with Ben O'Brien the short film Unedited Footage of a Bear, which was released on December 17, 2014 over Adult Swim. The short is a parody of allergy medication advertisements, and a veiled cautionary tale about antidepressant abuse, which slowly descends into chaos.
In 2016, Adult Swim aired Resnick's latest short film, This House Has People In It. The short film aired at 4:00 A.M. between March 14-19. The short consists partially of surveillance camera footage and directs the viewer to a fake security company website containing numerous companion videos, audio files, images, and text documents.
In 2011, Alan began a channel on YouTube called alantutorial. This channel was found to be an ARG - Alternate Reality Game - and went on up until December 12th, 2014. At first, the series was simply believed to be a tutorial channel from a mentally handicapped man, but the series took dark turns down the line from the character of Alan being locked out of the house by his brother and left homeless. Alan was eventually kidnapped and made to keep doing YouTube videos for others enjoyment. The room he was kept in became a disgusting living condition as his captors forgot about him. Eventually, Alan broke through the wall and escaped, uploading a final "tutorial" video on December 12th, 2014.
All his work on Adult Swim has been made in collaboration with Baltimore-based production company AB Video Solutions, LLC, an off-shoot of the Wham City arts collective. AB Video Solutions LLC is made up of Resnick, Ben O'Brien, Robby Rackleff, Cricket Arrison, and Dina Kelberman.
Resnick recently made an animated film for Super Deluxe called "Johnny Bubble", featuring the titular character in a series of odd events until he dies. Resnick also starred in IFC's webseries "The Mirror" as Wesley.
