Supinfocom: Yankee Gal

Supinfocom è un’università francese fondata nel 1988 a Valenciennes. Nel novembre 2007, la rivista americana 3D World l’ha classificata prima per i premi ricevuti in tutto il mondo dai propri alunni.

Antoine Perez, Céline Desrumaux, Francois Pons e Gary Levesque sono quattro studenti della Supinfocom che hanno realizzato il corto d’animazione Yankee Gal. La storia si svolge durante la seconda guerra mondiale con protagonista un pilota d’aereo.

I ragazzi hanno impiegato un anno per realizzarlo.

Venus Grotto

One of the first in a grand tradition of virtual realities,  King Ludwig II had this fully synthetic grotto built for him on the premises of the Linderhof Palace (Germany). As rumor has it, he would be rowed  across the lake in his golden swan boat to the blue light rococo cave.

The free to air digital multichannel revolution may finally-perhaps-kinda be upon us. From March 26th the Ten Network will be the first of the commercial networks to launch a fully fledged 24/7 digital multichannel in the form of ONE, a sports dedicated free to air channel.

Ten’s decision to launch a whole new brand for the channel, instead of simply launching ‘Ten Sports’ seems to be working. The look and feel of ONE is very polished, contemporary and inviting, no surprise though from the only commercial channel that seems to have any idea about how to brand.

Fiat Bravo e i numeri

Vi sarà sicuramente capitato di vedere da un po’ in TV la nuova pubblicità della Fiat Bravo il cui claim è “I numeri non sono mai stati così belli“. Finalmente uno spot dal sapore internazionale per un prodotto made in Italy. Il progetto è stato realizzato dalla Leo Burnett Torino e vede come protagonisti appunto i numeri, normalmente considerati come freddi elementi in questo video prendono vita andando a contribuire al piacevole ritmo della colonna sonora (Estate dalle Quattro Stagioni di Vivaldi). Completamente realizzata in 3d ha visto come team coinvolto: Direzione Creativa di Riccardo Robiglio e Paolo De Matteis, Art Director Riccardo Pagani e Copywriter Riccardo De Vincenzi. La regia è di Franco Tassi per Tax Free.

Da parte nostra complimenti per l’idea e per l’impeccabile realizzazione.

Actual Pain for Spring: “Wildlife”

Our good friend TJ Cowgill, maker of clothing line Actual Pain and leader of the most brutal metal band ever (Book Of Black Earth), has just unveiled his new collection for Spring 09. Made up of blood covered animals with names like “Gore Tiger”, the line stays true to the visual brutality that Actual Pain is known for, while lightening things up a little with some non metal themes that run the gamut from Siegfried and Roy to his feelings on British people. Here’s TJ’s description of “Gore Tiger”:

 

“SO I’VE BEEN SEEING THE RETURN OF THE CLASSIC 80’S ANIMAL PRINT, AND WANTED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE GENRE IF YOU WILL. THIS IS A HAND SCREENED TEE SHIRT… AN ANALOG MOTHERFUCKING COLOR HALFTONE. THIS WHAT THE OTHER MAGICIAN DREAMS ABOUT WHEN HE SLEEPS AT NIGHT (THE ONE THAT DIDN’T GET HIS FACE RIPPED OFF BY HIS OWN TIGER).”
