While our design processes celebrate iteration and throwing things away, our culture scorns switching and quitting. We don’t celebrate stopping things, changing our paths, or our minds. Just the opposite. We celebrate finishing things. In our race to finish–in our race to win–we underestimate the benefits of stopping. In this talk, we put quitting under the microscope and consider its fringe benefits.

Freaking cool 3d animation, futuristic soldiers fight an invisible enemy. Tragic and Cool. By Josh Harvey and Matts Anderson
Woah. A couple months ago my friends at PayPal contacted me to produce a follow-up video to “Water”. They are currently expanding their design horizons, and they wanted an inspirational video to go along with their design principles. After receiving the script, i contacted my long time collaborator Carla Dasso to help me in the concept stage. This is the result of almost 7 weeks of non-stop work. From 5am to 1am i worked on these animations, and it was amazing. It’s also a tribute to some of my favorite designers: There are small homages to Murat Pak; to Alex Roman, Lee Griggs, and so many others that i can’t think about right now. I want to thank them all for the inspiration. Gigs like these don’t come that often. It’s always exciting to learn something new and move out of the comfort zone. Please embrace curiosity; dive into new stuff and new tools. Investigate, try new approaches. Your best work (or at least the most fun) will probably be experimental, and that’s awesome. Enjoy this collection of frames, and please write your opinions. Done in Maya/Arnold; 3ds Max/Vray; C4D/X-particles/Vray. Realflow, Nuke, After Effects, etc. Rendered using Rebusfarm and RenderRocket, both of whom provided invaluable support and assistance. Cheers!
