Being is that I’m in the same industry I usually have a good idea how things are done, but I’m always impressed at the level of detail that people integrate. This video is no exception! Just check out how many layer of clouds they put in and you’ll know what I’m talking about. I also really like how well they broke down the effects! Full disclosure is always refreshing to see, especially in the creative industry where it’s so competitive. You boys OddBall Animation and SoapBox Films killed it!

The song is called “Eye of the Storm” by Lovett.

Not overly graphical. Not trying too hard. Not underwhelming. It’s perfect for what it is. I haven’t researched “Stuxnet” at all, but if it’s true that’s one intense virus!

Animatorio is quickly becoming one of my favorite motion graphic/3D studios. I love their graphical approach and animation style. Mixing 3D with 2D motion graphics always revz me up… Wow, ok I’m done.

Nature by Numbers from Cristóbal Vila on Vimeo.

I really don’t have much to say about this piece other than the fact that I love it. Geometry and math exist everywhere we look, but we don’t always look hard enough to see it. Check out Eterea Studios for more information. Great work!

The amount of man hours that went into making this piece have to be in the triple digits.



This video is called “ENVISION” and it was produced by the French outfit, SUPERBIEN.

Cel-shading always looks so cool and slick, I hope it never wears out. I know 13 minutes seems long but it’ll go by really quick once you press play.

Don’t really know about the questionable crotch extraction tho…

What’s it like to be so talented? …I’ll tell you some day..

I would usually try and find something to blame it on like being attacked by a super mean griz, or like the netz was down for a few months…. But honestly this is all on me! So from this point forward I’m going to make an oath to blog at least twice a week till christmas. Not saying that I’m not going to throw up some laaaaame-dizzle posts to fill my quota, but I promise (all 7 of my readers) that it won’t be a waste of time to check back.

Ok, enough of the bureaucratic filler. I like to go to Borders on my lunch break and check out industry magz like Wired and Videographer just to keep the creativity flowing. Every now and again I’ll come across those random art mags (usually from the UK) that are about $15 a piece and chalk full of the coolest art you’ll never see in person. I used to have about 16 or so of them in San Francisco and would run through them every time I needed a quick hit of inspirado. Anywho, last week I browsed an issue of Whatever U Want and ended up reading an article on a 23 year old brit named James Sutton. Truth be told I’m not that into his style, but at 23 he’s KILLING right now. Check out the new Steve Aoki video he just directed.

I’m always surprised to see all the great work that comes out of Portland, and from rather unsuspecting fellows too. Take the two guys I used to work with at Nike for example (Marshall and Russell you know who you are). Meet them on the street: what’s up, regular ass dudes with no tats and who wear normal fitting jeans and t-shirts. Meet them in the lab and they’re turning out some of the sickest motion graphics and 3D work I’ve ever seen. Anyway, back to this guy…

This piece was just too good to pass up. I personally have never used Lightwave, but this is about as good as I’ve even seen. And forget the tech mumbo jumbo, this is a pretty bad ass Porsche commercial too! It’s ads like this that I watch and think, “This is real sick, probably cost a fortune, but where does it end up?..”

I’ve kinda been all over the place with this post, so I’ll go ahead and shut it down. Check out Stephen Fitzgerald’s Vimeo page and keep checking back for more blogs on motion graphics, video production and editing.
