“PIXELS” Cool motion graphic piece of New York
This clever piece of motion graphics was created by Patrick Jean. Its a cool, crazy, adventurous film, transforming the city of New York into pixels. Donkey Kong swinging from buildings, Tetris blocks falling left, right and center and a frog that appears to leap everywhere.
Red nose day Viral.
A fantastic collaboration of Tv s greatest minds coming together for red nose day. Created by Fallon it has 14 of Tvs most memorable characters.
Motion; Oren Lavie – Her Morning Elegance
Fantastic piece of stop frame motion. I love how the simple things like this piece are so intriguing and fascinating to watch. The way stop frame plays out just has a really different watchable affect compared to standard smooth motion.
Motion; Lock Stock Typography
Finally I love this piece too (Its not fair just to have one). Ok this one is different because it uses the type in the way the actor is speaking it, for example he uses the word slap and the text slaps the other text he uses annihilate the text shakes, it just adds this little bit WOW factor which the other two don’t utilize. The sans serif font used also gives a more solid rigid look compared with the serif, the colours agin are mainly yellow red and black.... Read The Rest →
Motion; Fight Club Typography
Along with pulp fiction is this title sequence which has been an inspiration to me, the echo used and on and off lighting puts you inside the building with them. The rust coloured yellow wall makes you feel like your leaning on it and the black and yellow type/background combination presents danger. The incorporation of the red type then suggests the blood that is going to be spilled. A must see.
Motion; Pupl Fiction Typography
The use of type is great in this motion sequence, there are loads of these motion movies out there quoting famous movie lines but this one is a true favorite of mine. The strong bold use of type for the main characters voice and the weaker choice for the defendants increases there tone of voice. I love the colour scheme to a strong bold tiled brown background is very pulp fiction and the powerful energetic yellow of Samuel L Jacksons Voice is impacting. Very inspiring and certaily worth a watch.
Motion; Mark Coleran
www.coleran.com Probably one of the best show reels Ive ever seen! Ever wondered who does all those cool looking effects on the computer screens of films such as the minority report, blade, Star wars etc. Well this is one of the main guys for it. Working along side pixar, New Line and other hugely branded film production companies, his skills in motion and film production are amazing. I don’t know the software that is used for such films but I imagine it incorporates the use of 3D production software along... Read The Rest →
Motion; MGBD
MGBD are a school of students in America and this you tube site hosts their work. The reason I find it cool is the way in which they choose to represent their chosen topic in motion. The videos on their site are all re vamped opening movie title sequences, their fun, cool, quick and quircky and different take on what were origianlly used to for our cinema screens. Great use of typography also.
