Classic and not classic ads for brands still around, including: Glade, Honey Comb, Maxwell House, Crest, Pampers, and Association of American Railroads. These ads really do vary in quality.

After converting to Islam, changing his name and refusing to fight in Vietnam, Muhammad Ali entered his exiled years. The Trials of Muhammad Ali chronicles the race issues, religious intolerance and the meaning of justice in America during such a divisive era. We helped bring to life still photos, maps, FBI documents, letters to President Johnson and the opening titles. We were honored to be a part of this incredible film that focuses on Ali’s fight both inside and outside the ring.

Virtual reality, 360-degree videos, social networks, video games that look like movies and movies that resemble video games: I think that most of the entertainment`s world nowadays has become monstrous and it is no longer just eyes` illusion, but often illusion of the mind. I do not know about you but personally, among all these innovation`s turbines, I find myself still attracted by ancient methods and tools which continue to fascinate me. Some time ago I came across a phenakistoscope (also spelled as phenakistiscope or phenakitiscope or phantasmascope or phantascope), an antique optical instrument that displays animated images (practically current animated gif) invented in 1832 by Joseph Pleateau. I then found some scans of these circles on the Internet and I began to digitally animate them. After a few attempts, I started to combine these animations trying to create something original and unpublished. Eventually, in order to stay on, I created a stop motion with paper toys from nineteenth-century that open and close the video. The music was carefully crafted by Al-Maranca. The result of all this work is called “L’illusion de Joseph” in honour of Joseph Plateau, inventor of phenakistoscope. Enjoy 🙂 Created and Directed by Pask D’Amico for Klesha production www.kleshaproduction.com Music by Al-Maranca in “Il ballo della coccinella sul panno bianco” (A.Maranca) https://al-maranca.bandcamp.com/ Special thanks to Luca Spennato for photography supervision http://www.lucaspennato.com/ ITA Realtà virtuale, video a 360 gradi, social networks, videogiochi che sembrano film e film che sembrano videogiochi: la dimensione dell’intrattenimento oggi giorno è diventata mostruosa e non è più solo illusione dell’occhio ma illusione della mente. Non so voi ma io in tutto questo turbine di innovazione ancora sono attratto da strumenti e metodi antichi che continuano ad affascinarmi. Tempo fa mi sono imbattuto nel fenachistoscopio (anche conosciuto come fenachistiscopio, phenakistiscopio, fantasmascopio (phantasmascope) o fantascopio (phantascope), un antico strumento ottico che consente di visualizzare delle immagini animate (praticamente le nostre odierne gif animate) inventato da Joseph Plateau nel 1832. Su internet ho trovato delle scansioni di questi dischi ottocenteschi ed ho iniziato ad animarli digitalmente. Dopo un pò di tentativi ho cominciato a combinare queste animazioni cercando di creare qualcosa di originale ed inedito. Poi per rimanere in tema ho creato uno stop motion con dei paper toys ottocenteschi che aprono e chiudono il video. La musica è stata sapientemente cucita addosso al video dal mio amico e musicista preferito Al Maranca​ Da tutto questo lavoro nasce “L’illusion de Joseph” in onore a Joseph Plateau, inventore del fenachistoscopio . Buona visione.
