Graphic Artist, Siggi Eggertsson puts his hip little muted color pixelated blobs into motion and they still look cool as all get out. Crossover talent.

Motionographer and graphic designer Mark Kulakoff has updated his site with some really slick board and design work. I am always a sucker for space suits.

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.

Advanced Beauty is “an ongoing exploration of digital artworks born and influenced by sound, an ever-growing collaboration between programmers, artists, musicians, animators and architects” that was developed by the bright minds of Universal Everything. The project isn’t new. It started last year but you can now watch all of the results at Universal Everything’s Vimeo account. There are 18 there I believe and some of them are really stunning. I have posted the first seven but be sure to click-through to watch more here.

Here’s a nice and eerily psychedelic bit of motion/3D experimentation.

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.

The effects in this video are very choice. I must admit to not being much of a fan for the song but the video merits a watch just for the VFX alone.

Mtv Networks International tasked a talented group of animators and motionographers (Tronic, Universal Everything, Zeiguised and Zhestkov) to create a series of bumpers. The results are pretty stunning and a hell of a lot of fun to watch.

You can watch the videos above and read a little more about the project here.

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.

Creative agency, Clusta has updated both their website and portfolio in a big big way. Not only is the work fantastic, so is the website. It’s exactly what an agency site should be. Simple, sleek, attractive and focused on the portfolio.

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.

Ken Edge has launched a new website full of really great examples of motion graphics and animation. Apparently, he ‘really likes television’. Don’t we all?

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.
