Today we feature a video for all the purists out there. It’s a cool video about the art of letterpress printing. The video was made by Naomi Ross from New York City. What can we say except for we love this!
Just watch and learn.

This week we’re keeping it local with the guys from Am I Collective. If you don’t know them by now check ‘em out. They do some kick ass work all over the globe. They’ve done work for the likes of Nike, Pepsi, Fokofpolisiekar, Fifa and X Games USA to name but a few.
Today we’re featuring two of their animation videos. The first is a stopframe based viral video for the launch of the latest Converse campaign entitled Block Party. The video takes an interesting spin on 8-bit graphics in a modern context. The second video is a character design and animation for Red Bull world break dancing championships. It’s smooth motion mixed with hand drawn landscapes creates a visual treatment that really excites the brain.
Here they are. Enjoy.

This is an amazing video created by an agency called Devin. They are a motion and interactive studio based in Barcelona. The sound design was done by Marcelo Baldin. He’s a musician, sound designer and art director based in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
This is a short rationale about the video.
“Titled “Beyond Surface” the aim was to deepen in the thoughts and processes of the artists invited to the conference, or in other words, to go “beyond” them.
Opening titles are strongly Type based and we used monogram designs by Alex Trochut to represent each of the artists in order to go beyond them. Our most important technical goal was the imperceptible integration of both CGI and real footage”.
Enjoy and share this.

Better late than never, even if it’s just a small post today. Cape Town weather got me in bed with the flu, and you know how men are when they have the flu (my sister calls it Man Flu).
Maybe we won’t see you at the gigs this week, but you don’t have an excuse.
