Back in February we got a nice call from Catherine Owens, long time super creative director for the uber-famous band U2. Catherine came across our video This is Agostina and knew she found the team who could help rock some video/visuals for this years U2 360 world tour. For the past few months we went to New York for meetings, came back to the Bangkok studio and have been rocking on over 200 video clips for the upcoming show. The concert opens in Barcelona on June 30, 2009 to a sold out crowd of 90,000 fans. For complete tour details you can visit the U2 Tour schedule. To get an idea of stage and the size of screen we created video work for (its MASSIVE), you can check out the U2 360 website.

As we come to wrap on this project, we are really excited/anxious to show everyone the video we contributed to the project. As soon as the tour gets rolling we will release more details (permitting all NDA rules of course). Till then, just go check out the show, I am sure U2 will give you one hell of a show!
I am not much of a rock band player, but I did recently have a little jam session when I was staying with some friends in NYC last month. Today, I stumbled across this site with this new promotion for the Beatles version of rock band coming out later this year. I have to say, this is one of the best animations I have ever seen, if not the best. Why? Well for many reasons. Of course working with the Beatles as subject matter only helps push the work to the forefront, but I wont deny the intensity of this work. Overall, the style, the story telling of the bands progression from pop stars to experimenting with drugs, is all so obvious in a very unique way in the promotion. I could go on for many words here, but overall, this animation is just 100% kick ass. See for yourself…
Some nice type in motion work from OneSize for the 2009 OFFF sponsor titles. I think they did a really good job and liked what they did with our full logo as well. Check em out and some of their other projects.Â
Boom, our latest publication has finally landed! A work of art that explores the relationship between nature, motion and sound, The Interpretation takes us on a languid journey through a slowly flourishing forest. Hinting at vague memories of microbiology and rotating through a cool organic spectrum of greens, blues, browns, blacks and whites; this motion-based work will entrance its viewer as the forest evolves. The Interpretation is set to a minimal score filled with authentic sounds of nature, complimenting the environmental essence of the visuals. One of the movies on this DVD also features a soundtrack composed by various Ghostly Records musicians.
I have been meaning to link this up for a week and figure I just gotta do it fast or I will never do it. Bran from Grow organizes this motion collaboration called PSST and it is amazing. You should check it out and you will be glad you did.
Last night I was reading about 1950’s animation in Cartoon Modern and it mentioned some of the amazing modern animators coming out of Europe that were vastly different than the standard 19th century “Disney” style that was so prevalent in the US. One such animator was Ivan Ivanov-Vano whom collaborated with the likes of Shostakovich and Stravinsky. Take a moment today to watch Seasons by Ivan Ivanov-Vano , while it wasn’t produced in the 50’s and it isn’t the exact video I was looking for with the Shostakovich score, it’s still absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy!
On April 16-17th the F5 event is going on in NYC. F5 will feature so many amazing talents, it is hard to count them all. The conference is an extension of the motion blog, Motionographer, so it will be more focused on moving images. We highly recommend it!
We just finished a short film/edit using various clips from our stock motion collections titled Moire. Composed of patterns and hypnotic illusions, Moire may result in acid flashbacks from your teenage childhood or slight migraines when given to much concentration. Available in HD.
poor visibility; weather again unsettled today. surreal rocks and riven lowlands, valleys fog-shrouded. frightening depths, and emptiness. rarity of air is noticeable. what are you looking for in this hostile stretch? Came across this tonight, super nice work.
