Fleet Foxes – A Family Affair
Posted in: Didier Falzone, Gods of Design, Grandchildren, milk, Motiongraphics, Stop-motion, Stranieri, Video MusicaliL’immersione è una questione di affinità, di scambi. E’ lasciarsi permeare, per scaricare i nervi ed acquisire nuove energie. Con la musica, con le immagini, ci si immerge in universi alternativi, collocati altrove per pochi minuti.
Con i Fleet Foxes è così. Non li ascolti, ti ci immergi.
Autori di uno dei migliori dischi che ci abbia lasciato l’anno appena trascorso, il quintetto di Seattle capitanato da Robin Pecknold sta, singolo dopo singolo, costruendo un universo visuale parallelo che traduce appieno il loro folk pop sognante in immagini. L’affinità tra musica ed immagine ha, in questo caso, origini genetiche: autore dei video della band è infatti il fratello di Robin, Sean Pecknold, attivo nell’animazione e nella motion graphics. Sotto il nome di Grandchildren (Milk nelle collaborazioni con Matt Daniels) ha già realizzato per la band di Seattle lo splendido video animato di “White Winter Hymnal“, stop motion di magica plastilina ancestrale, ed il bucolico video di “He Doesn’t Know Why“.
Quello che vi proponiamo è il nuovo video dei Fleet Foxes: Mykonos, brano tratto dal primo EP del gruppo e presente sulla riedizione deluxe dell’album.
Il curatissimo Making Of del video vi racconta la lucida follia cartacea della sua realizzazione.

Ahoy, Nathan Love!
Posted in: character animation, character design, Chips Ahoy, General, nathan love
The Chips Ahoy Cookie Campaign has long been based on creative kookiness and comedic timing. Who best to execute this vision?
Look no further than Nathan Love, where you’ll find a hodgepodge of toys, pornified coloring books, melted baby dolls and gilded pipes (the plumbing kind, of course). A true blend of creative chaos and total genius.
Marching to the beat of their own drum, and charged with replicating Oz and the classic cookie character, Nathan perfectly synthesizes the old stop motion campaign with new advances of 3D animation, kicking personality and style up a notch, while maintaining the hand crafted look and feel.
And the animation? It’s Nathan Love, duh. Keeping with the classic, Cookie enters the house of Auntie Em as a bounding mess of emotions- an effortless task for Nathaners.
Some of you will scoff at the swap from stop-mo to CG. Fear nothing, friends. Cookie is in good hands, for the gang at Nathan is the real deal, a conglomerate of crafty artists and well, talented storytellers.
Stay tuned for Cookie part two, blazing the motion trails very soon.
