Psyop Weathers The “Storm” For UPS
Posted in: cardboard, corrugated, doner, General, paul rand, Psyop, shipping, storm, UPS, weathers the stormFor their curtain call at the end of a brilliant four-spot performance for UPS, Psyop conjures a world that’s comparable to the cardboard-carved spectacles from previous spots that we know and love. Watch the other UPS spots: “Gladiator” / “Circus” / “West”
In “Storm”, color and texture become mnemonic devices triggering our emotional sense of UPS. The look, partly in credit to agency Doner, has moxy: It’s adaptable, engaging, and has held strong throughout the duration of the campaign.
We’re presenting an in-depth three-part interview with three of Psyop’s crew, complete with making-of videos and process imagery. Stay tuned for the other two interviews soon.
Part One

Posted in: actual pain, Crass, fashion, Gallery, Satan
Our soulless friends from Actual Pain just sent us some images of their new Fall/Winter lineup for your satan worshipping needs. You can’t worship the unworthy without something righteously upsetting as a decapitated mouse resembling that one ultra famous black and white rodent. Nods to crass and everything unruly in the “And To The Devil a Daughter” collection will make it the new gear you need to get gnarly with at your next séance in the woods.

Hi!
Is there in Fusion any way how to blur edges of selection by material ID channel? I make a color correction and use material ID channel selection. Around the trees that are planes with texture and opaccity map there will appear rectangle that are not affect by correction. In cobustion I partly solved this by choosing a feather in GBuffer material selection.
