“A chorus of women are borne from the movements of a single dancer in this dreamlike “pas de trente-deux.”
‘Choros’ premiered at Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in 2012 and has gone on to play dozens of festivals worldwide. The film is currently broadcast in Europe by Canal+.”

My friend Mike Walters turned me onto the bizarre Photoshop compositing work of Android Jones. It’s a heavily-layered affair that would no doubt put a crunch on your machine. His work has sparked some interest as of late and he may actually be exhibiting here in Denver soon. Keep an eye out. I would imagine it would be something else altogether to see his imagery in print.

Yeah I know, it’s Linkin Park but hey the compositing in this video is awesome. I am not sure who directed or animated the video but it’s a great effect and even more kudos go to giving Linkin Park a makeover.

Motion designer Ed Laag is currently freelancing for Shilo where he is belting out some pretty kick-ass visuals with a truly cinematic slant. He’s super good at what he does and it shows right from the moment the thumbnails load on the homepage. Impressive work.
