My friends from Lifelongfriendshipsociety sent me this a week or so back and I forgot to post it. They were tasked with putting together an experimental video promoting Google’s new web browser, Chrome. The end results of which was the quirky storytelling and kick ass style that LFS is known for and why they continue to grab big-name clients.

Here is a brief description of the project:
“Helmed by LFS director Brian Close, Caged Rage 3: Binary Budokan is a frenetic, stylish, romp through mediums including eye-popping computer animation, live action and stop motion animation. Infused with elements of Japanese Anime and 70’s martial arts movies, an office worker turns samurai on his to do lists, using the power of Google Chrome to accomplish near heroic tasks in record time.”

Good stuff guys. Miss you guys. Thanks for the creepy video Bridget (it made me kind of sick to my stomach). I want to come up and visit you guys sometime before the end of the summer (maybe I can bring Lee along).

MK12 has posted their 2009 reel and it’s pretty radical as expected. I haven’t been to their site in a very long time either and it looks like there is a lot of new stuff there since I last dropped in. They remain one of the best.

Wow. Gkaster posted this new experimental clip just a few days back and it is really something to behold. Awesome work. He claims that it is a tribute to Tron, Akira and Blade runner.

PepperMelon updates their already tremendous body of motion work with yet even more tremendous motion work. They also have quite possibly the coolest home page graphics I have seen in a very very long time.

Brasileiro designer Dimitre Lima just emailed to inform me that he just updated his website with some new work. I was immediately drawn to the processing-driven Mtv animation-ident in his portfolio. I managed to track down an actual video that you can see above but please do drop by his site for more of his unusual work. Eu gosto muito.

This title sequence was created by Barcelona-based Dvein for the F5 festival in NYC on April 16th and 17th, 2009. Visit f5fest.com

Credits:
Direction and Animation: Dvein
Music: Antfood

Dvein’s creative approach:
“When we were invited to make the F5 titles, we wanted them match the eclectic spirit of the conference. The idea was to get the soul of the speakers into the titles in some way.

“We asked each speaker to name five objects that inspire them or has something to do with their work. We received all kinds of answers—really interesting objects that gave us a great starting point: wind turbines, microscopes, lights, smoke, lamb rib cage, French bulldog…

“The speakers didn’t know what their answers would be used for, but they were the seed for our story. In this way, all the speakers added their bit. There is not a unique authorship but rather a multiple collaboration.”

Wow. Amazing work.

Parallelostory from impactist on Vimeo.

“Spend a couple minutes in the multiverse and you may find it comfortable enough to participate in your own Parallelostory, which is just hip meta-universe slang for “parallel love story”. But remember, this is only one of an infinite number renderings of the same story that your dimensional alternates will have already viewed, are viewing, or will view.

Or not at all.

All content and audio created by Kelly Meador & Daniel Elwing.”
