The PEN Story: Olympus Advert

I find this to be quite incredible. They took over 60,000 photos in the production! Printed 9,600 prints and had to retake 1,800 shots again. That’s serious dedication. Don’t suppose a big fat pay cheque from Olympus had anything to do with it : ) But seriously, no post production! Very impressive.

Lucía, Luis y el lobo – Part 1 of 2

This is exactly what I’d imagine a young child’s worst nightmare would be like! I only wish I could understand without reading the subtitles while watching – for maximum freakout effect! I highly recommend checking out part 2 entitled Luis by Diluvio.

Incredible Stop Frame Animation by Blu and David Ellis

This is an incredible collaboration between Blu and David Ellis. We’ve covered Blu before with his MUTO wall-painted animation.

What I’m most impressed is by the speed at which these two great artists work. Watch the shadows from the sun towards the end when the serpent is created. Many of the animations take only a few hours – but are rich in detail and sophistication.

As I covered recently, this reminds me of LUIS: Amazing Stop Frame Animation by diluviogallery.com.

If you wish to see more of their work, I recommend checking out their profiles:

Creative Process: Holiday Card by Mind Castle

The folks over at Mind Castle decided to create a booklet & DVD to send out to their clients. However, they also decided to record the making of this booklet & DVD. I have to say, I’m not in love with the finished product (booklet) but the timelaspse of it’s making is really impressive.

Their control of aperture & focus during the timelapse was equally as impressive – using it to shift the users attention to the shots focal point.

Most impressive however was their ability to capture not only the production process but their thought process too. Shifting forward and backward through the design process clearly highlighted how much thought goes into a product like this. It’s a challenge all designers face when presenting work to clients.

Music: Feist – Mushaboom [MP3]

Although not a huge fan of Feist, I think the song selection is excellent here. The light hearted rythm of the song is well suited to the playfulness of the clip. It somehow reminds me of the intro to Bosco when I was a child. If you don’t know wo Bosco is, check out the cliip below.

LUIS: Amazing Stop Frame Animation

This is amazing wok by dilivio again. I highly recommend checking out Lucía, Luis y el lobo, the second part of this 2 part series/compilation.
