Ro Rao: Nike Women
Posted in: asia, athletes, biking, General, kick-boxing, nike, online, running, web campaign, women
Curious Pictures’ Ro Rao created an ambitious series of shorts for Nike Women’s “Be Transformed” campaign running in the Asia/Pacific region, masterminded by digital agency AKQA:
The series employs two distinct styles. For “Meteor,” “Punching Bag,” and “Bike,” Ro worked with Tampa-based Humoring The Fates to create anime mini-epics. To create the 3D neo-psychedlia of “Jump Rope,” Ro teamed up with Zoink Animation in Sweden.
In addition to jumping between the two styles of the athletes’ transformations, Ro did a great job developing a look for the live action. It’s polished stuff that feels like a departure from his Ro’s portfolilo to date, which is mostly a lo-fi blend of kitch and comedy. (You might remember this viral smash-hit he co-directed with Abraham Spear.)
I’m curious to see where Ro goes from here. (Ha! “Curious.” Curious Pictures. Get it? Okay, sorry.)

The results are in from CGenie’s user survey on 3d artists satisfaction with the software they use. Above is a graph of the overall satisfaction scores for each software. It’s interesting to see that Blender (the open-source 3d graphics package) consistently tops the list in most of the categories listed from new features to value. Of course some of this is not surprising considering that Blender is free. The offerings from Autodesk (namely Maya and 3ds Max) are grouped over and over at the lowest rungs of ladder. The survey results also include some choice comments from users in which the Autodesk products take quite a beating from those who toil in front of them day in and day out. Like these…
Maya: I’m forced to use this software to make a living but I resent it every minute.
and
3ds Max: A lot of the times it feels like the developers do not listen to the artists. Some tools that have been in max for ages and always had problems, they are just left as they are… Come on let’s fix the old stuff clean up the code and then move onto the new stuff.
It seems the open source model is outpacing the bloated development cycles of the big boys. It’ll be interesting to see if they can find a way to catch up.

Kid Kudi Kanye West
Posted in: Ghost Town Media, Gods of Design, Kid Kudi, Motiongraphics, Nabil Elderkin, ray tintori, So-Me, Stefano Paron, Stranieri, Video Musicali, Welcome To Heartbreak, Yué NynoI disegni di So-Me stanno diventando un segno distintivo che molti artisti cercano per i loro videoclip. Ce li ricordiamo per i video di Justice e Kanie West. Ora anche il giovane Kid Kudi ha scelto le grafiche dell’artista francese animate da Yué Nyno.
Kid Kuni ha cantato nell’ultimo album di Kanie West: guardate il video della canzone “Welcome To Heartbreak” diretto da Nabil Elderkin. Non preoccupatevi, non è un problema di compressione, il video è fatto veramente così!
Nel sito della casa di post produzione Ghost Town Media si legge “After months of tedious work, we finally present the new video for Kanye West” (”Dopo mesi di noioso lavoro finalmente presentiamo il nuovo video….”). Vorrei proprio sapere come lo hanno prodotto.

Anche Chairlift Evident Utensil diretto da Ray Tintori propone lo stesso trattamento video ( Ma secondo voi serve la visione in HD? ; )

Hello everybody and sorry for my english,
I’m new in nuke and I want to disable a set of nodes given by name into the nuke scene (i.e. disable VectorBlur nodes to accelerate calculations)
Is there any way of selecting nodes with a given name using python scripting (like when pressing "/" button) ?
Another question: how can I set in Python the disable property of a given node from its node name?
Thank you so much.
