Keeping in tandem with the seizure-inducing theme (alright now I am being sarcastic) here is another interesting video based around the concept of nuclear fusion in the micro-world from W+K Tokyo Lab creator, Genki Ito.
“A strange man builds a world using holographic tools for the woman he loves.
This award winning short was created by filmmaker Bruce Branit, widely known as the co-creator of ‘405’. World Builder was shot in a single day followed by about 2 years of post production. Branit is the owner of Branit VFX based in Kansas City.”
There is some great motion work in the portfolio of Santa Motion. I have no idea how I missed these guys or why I haven’t heard of them but if you haven’t either, they are worth looking up.
Tesia Alexandra has assembled a huge portfolio of motion boards, all of which are expertly executed. That isn’t all that is in her portfolio though as she has worked in multiple mediums.
Really beautiful work across the board for motion from Theo Daley. Spectacular and beautiful imagery fill his portfolio with attention paid to the tiniest of details.
Rafael Macho is an enthusiastic Designer who believes that good communication and great design can help companies do better business.
I guess we have that in common.
Some sweet motion graphic/graphic illustration action going down at Blirp Studio, not the least of which is the hot typographical treatment on their splash page.
Wow, there is a lot of work in the portfolio of Joost Korngold at the new Renascent site. Big update, big site and a lot of good work.
My friends at Lifelongfriendshipsociety have relaunched with some exceptional motion work.
Props guys and great song selection on the new reel.
New kick ass work, reel and website from Los Angeles based Justin Harder.
Maybe he and I could work together and then call our joint effort ‘Harder Cox’. It almost sounds meant to be. I know that was juvenile, but I just couldn’t help myself.
Well, how exactly did the credit crisis go down? How did the entire system implode?
Fortunately, in fine motion graphic style, Jonathan Jarvis was nice enough to outline the situation in a digestable way.
You can learn more about the project here.
A little more about the project and the Jarvis’s work:
“The goal of giving form to a complex situation like the credit crisis is to quickly supply the essence of the situation to those unfamiliar and uninitiated. This project was completed as part of my thesis work in the Media Design Program, a graduate studio at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
For more on my broader thesis work exploring the use of new media to make sense of a increasingly complex world, visit jdjarvis.com.”

Remember Gmunk from way back in the day? If you have been a design junky as long as I have, I am betting you do. I have wondered for a while where he has been and what he has been up to and he has just posted a new reel with a new site to follow soon. His work is better than ever and it looks like he has been incredibly busy.
Not entirely sure how the work of Blur slipped my attention. Amazing work for a very impressive roster of clients. I know I have seen their work before but I just never put two and two together. Needless to say, it was a nice little discovery today.
Special Guest is the playful alter ego of 1st Avenue Machine. Really spectacular animation for an experimental playground. I love to see people stretching themselves this way. Props go to 1st Avenue Machine for putting in some work.
