A Record of Life

Comments Off on A Record of LifeMotion Graphics

This sweet little video was created by Owen Gatley and Luke Jinks. “It’s loosely based on the scientific recording of life’s great species. And how this has given us clues that piece together, for us to discover the secrets of the evolution and diversity of life on Earth.”

She Farted and Created the World

Comments Off on She Farted and Created the WorldMotion Graphics

Scott Coello somehow managed to make a dog fart lyrical and even beautiful. To add to the irony, he accomplished this by animating bits of garbage and found objects. The animation is dedicated to his dog who recent lost her lady bits (as he puts it).

Voltage – Bam Studio

Comments Off on Voltage – Bam StudioMotion Graphics

Bam Studio sent this experimental animation video to me today and I was impressed on several levels. It’s an interesting bit of animation in terms of what is happening, but it is equally inspiring for the imaginative renderings of the figures. There is a vintage 70’s throwback feel in the execution that is just really fun to look at. I’ve got nothing but love for the Brasileiros.

A whole lot of credits:

Comments Off on TomasMotion Graphics

These three darkly cynical viral films were created in collaboration by Ministry of Sound’s MSHK, illustrator Neal Murren (of Breed London) and brought to life by Mainframe to promote Tomas, the new book by Ministry of Sound co-founder James Palumbo.

Motionographer has a great Q&A about the work.

Video Games

Comments Off on Video GamesMotion Graphics

This is radical. It starts off slow but give it a chance because once it gets going you have to find something to hold onto. Awesome. Be sure to click the link at the end of the details below to check out more of Musclebeaver’s work. They rock.

Details:
This animation we did was planned and animated for the prologue of a documentary.
(That explains the absurd, unfinished seeming, ending.That is where the actual documentary starts…. )
The briefing was to show an evolution of computer games.
The documentary itself is about different people, based here in germany, showing their everyday life, and their addiction to the same specific, famous MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game):”Wo..”

Every game character in this prologue was reinterpreted, redrawn (…one pixel at a time), and animated frame by frame.

Universal Everything – Onedreamrush

Comments Off on Universal Everything – OnedreamrushMotion Graphics

Really interesting but quick little diddy from the mad minds behind Universal Everything. I am not entirely sure what this is for but the title says something about ’42 Below Vodka / China’. Radical nonetheless.

Machu Picchu Post

Comments Off on Machu Picchu Post3D Graphics

“Machu Picchu Post is a short 3D film made at Supinfocom Arles in 2008 by Clement Crocq, Margaux Durand-Rival and Nicolas Novali.

This is the story of the unexpected meeting between a young peruvian boy living with his lama and a pilot from the airmail flying above the boy’s house.”

The style and animation in this short film is really expertly executed. You can learn a little more about the project here.

Body

Comments Off on BodyMotion Graphics

Here is a very strange but fascinating little piece of art from the mind of Zhivko Dimitrov. I am not entirely sure what to make of it other than the fact that it is uniquely psychedelic and beautiful to watch.

Motion Designer, Raffi Simonian has launched a new web presence featuring some really beautiful and sleek motion/animation work. I really like his website as well. It is very simple and highly functional, utilizing animated gifs as thumbmails, which is really clever in terms of fast load time and quick preview playback. It’s a smart idea featuring some smart work.

CLICK 3X

Comments Off on Click 3XMotion Graphics

Click 3X launches a new website complete with a fancy-pants video player (minus a timeline scrubber [sorry, my only beef]). The site isn’t really the hero though, the work is. They have some amazing examples of animation, CGI effects and motion graphics in their ever-growing portfolio. Browsing through their projects is just good fun.
