Artwork was designed by Mat Collishaw. It is based on “Massacre of the innocent” painting by Rubens. This is the 6th zoetrope I had a pleasure to work on. This 3D printed job took about 6 months of work and involved creating over 350 character figures, environment elements and architecture. I was responsible for all 3D modeling and animations. I mostly used 3ds max and ZBrush. Please let me know what you think of it. seb@creativenot.com www.creativenot.com

Conrad Milster, Pratt Institute’s chief engineer, has worked in the Brooklyn power plant nearly his entire adult life. Starting as a mechanic in 1958, he later became one of only four chief engineers in the plant’s 127-year history, taking over the official duties in 1965. He’s been there ever since. For the last six decades, Milster (now 79 years old) has lovingly maintained the nineteenth century steam engines that provide heat and hot water to Pratt’s campus. “We have our hands full,” says Milster. “If the plant stops in the winter, Pratt stops.” In addition, Conrad is the person behind the infamous “Pratt Cats,” responsible for the 12-14 felines that wander the campus and call the steam plant home. An important figure in Pratt’s history, Milster has extended his impact on the Pratt community through a generous gift—the Phyllis and Conrad Milster Endowed Scholarship—that provides scholarships in perpetuity to students in Pratt’s Industrial Design program. The scholarship is named for Milster and his late wife, Phyllis, who passed away in 2011. — Filmed by Dustin Cohen, Autumn Eakin, and Christine Ng. Edited by Saela Davis.

WWF has launched “Endangered Emoji”, an emoji-based fundraising campaign timed to coincide with Endangered Species Day on Friday 15 May. The campaign #EndangeredEmoji, run through the official @WWF Twitter account and at endangeredemoji.com, was sparked by the discovery that 17 characters in the emoji alphabet represent endangered species. Emoji are becoming more popular every day since they were integrated into Twitter in April 2014, and have been used over 202 million times on the social platform*. WWF has tweeted an image showing all 17 Endangered Emoji. To take part in the campaign all twitter users need to do is retweet the image. At the end of each month, users will receive a summary of their Endangered Emoji activity and given an opportunity to donate the local currency equivalent of £0.10 for each tweet. During the #EndangeredEmoji campaign, WWF has changed its iconic panda logo to a panda emoji.
Influential digital supporters are helping to publicize the campaign by retweeting the original image to their followers, including Xavier Di Petta, creator of @EarthPix and @HistoryInPics.. He comments, “Emoji is the first global language and I love that people all over the world can get involved in protecting our planet and the animals we share it with.”
The campaign includes the following endangered species: Western gray whale, Blue whale, Bluefin tuna, Galapagos penguin, Maui’s dolphin, Green turtle, Siamese crocodile, Antiguan racer snake, Sumatran tiger, Amur leopard,
Asian elephant, Bactrian camel, Giant panda, African wild dog, Lemur frog.
The campaign was developed with advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy London and technical partner Cohaesus.
Jason Scott and Joris Philippart, creative team at Wieden+Kennedy London comment, “When we came up with the idea of using the 17 endangered emoji animals to support WWF’s work to protect wildlife, we were very excited about putting the millions of monkeys, dolphins, pandas and other emoji creatures used every day towards a good cause. Hopefully, it will go some way to inspiring the next generation to get involved with the important work that WWF is doing.”.
After reading our interview with Lucas Zanotto, reader Joe Linton wondered, “As creatives, how do we encourage and nurture creativity in our own children?” We thought it was a great question, so together with Joe, we came up with a short survey for all you parents out there. We’ll keep the survey open through Thursday, May… Read more »

In 1977, with the release of “Star Wars: A New Hope,” Ben Burtt introduced a new lexicon of sounds into our aural vocabulary. This video is a celebration of those iconic sounds that have been rattling around my head since childhood and that have since become ingrained in our collective pop culture psyche. It is also a celebration of Ben Burtt’s genius. Sound design by Ben Burtt.
