To This Day is live!


Over a month ago To This Day project asked animators and motion artists to pitch in to animate one of Shane Koyczan‘s spoken word poems to confront bullying, a lot of you did. And here is the final result.

To This Day is a project based on a spoken word poem written by Shane Koyczan called “To This Day”, to further explore the profound and lasting impact that bullying can have on an individual.

Schools and families are in desperate need of proper tools to confront this problem. We can give them a starting point… A message that will have a far reaching and long lasting effect in confronting bullying.

Animators and motion artists brought their unique styles to 20 second segments that will thread into one fluid voice.

This collaborative volunteer effort demonstrates what a community of caring individuals are capable of when they come together. To This Day was Produced by Giant Ant

Collaborating with G-Star’s in-house creative team, Glassworks Amsterdam created a gorgeous odyssey through the production of denim as part of G-Star’s “Art of RAW” campaign.

Directed by Glassworks’ own Rudiger Kaltenhauser, the spot mimics macro photography, creating a hyper-real journey that brims with tactile details, despite being entirely CG.

Joseph Pierce “The Pub”


In The Pub, Joseph Pierce uses his surreal magnifying glass to shine a light on the murky slipstream of a North London pub. Similar to his previously highlighted films, A Family Portrait and Stand Up, Pierce uses a combo of shot footage and animation to illuminate and accentuate the emotional states of the pub patrons.

Fun shots of the pub in progress are available on flickR and a great interview with Joseph Pierce is available at Directors Notes.
