UPDATE: English VO version found on youtube! Thanks for the info, tvp.
Kenichi Tanaka made this thesis piece to show his countrymen that things that take place in Japan, ‘isn’t that normal’. So the tale was told from a foreigner’s viewpoint rather than a Japanese’s, but he begs ‘please don’t call me racist, because I am one of short, small eyes Japanese ;P’. This is a smart and insightful piece because of the cultural self-awareness of its maker. Definitely a significant contribution to the world of visual essays.
We are not sure why it’s not available in English, (see English VO version link at the top) but to those of you who don’t speak Japanese, watching this humorous infographics animation while not understanding the VO, somehow adds another layer of complexity and heightens the uniqueness of the viewing experience. To find out more about the piece, be sure to visit Kenichi’s blog, here.
Theres a new Interactive force in Toronto — Grand, who recently launched this site for local band Hail the Villain. Have a look at their making-of and press release.
Grupo W’s latest interactive project is The Digital Invaders, for the inauguration of their very own digital media school ; ) Love the illustrations and animation, great job guys!
UPDATE: Full Credit List available after the jump.
Hooray for Melbourne! Thumbs up for the Victorian Government for commissioning this lovely animated spot–such a welcome change from their usually live-action based pieces. This one is directed by Against All Odds via XYZ studios for Grey Melbourne. My favourite bit is the facial expressions these characters have (especially the lady). The claymation look and tilt-shift treatment may not be new, but it’s delightful nevertheless.
I sincerely hope this is a sign that the Australian clients and public are sharing their love more equally between all-things-animated and all-things-live-action….

Somewhere I’ve got a version which has environment mapped reflections as well but I can’t seem to find it. If I find it I’ll add it in a future version.

PIXELS è l’ultimo video autopromozionale creato da Patrick Jean, che ha curato la regia, gli effetti e il 3D, in collaborazione con Onemoreprod. NewYork è invasa da creature a 8 bit, ognuna delle quali rappresenta un mitico videogioco anni 70 – 80.
