Hasta La Motion!

Holopainting is a combination of the Light Painting, Stop Motion and Hyperlapse technique to create three dimensional light paintings. We didn’t want to use computer generated images, so we built a giant 3D scanner out of 24 Raspberry Pis with their webcams. These cameras took photos from 24 different perspectives of the person in the middle with a delay of 83 milliseconds, so the movement of the person also was recorded. After that we spent endless hours cutting out each photo, so we would have the person on a black solid as background. We then made a hyperlapse around a light painting artist who painted each of the photos we took before according to the current position of the camera. As a result the hyperlapse circulates around a three dimensional light painting. We felt like painting a hologram, so we called it a holopainting. This is our graduation project for our university. Thanks to the University of Applied Science St. Pölten (http://www.fhstp.ac.at) for supporting this project. Thanks to our client HOERBIGER (www.hoerbiger.com) for letting us use one of their old facilities to do the holopainting. Thanks to the FFG which sponsored the Raspberry Pis, Webcams and wires to build the 3D-Scanner.

About the Work
WOW has produced a 4K battle movie that personifies 3D animation software, “Max Man & Maya Man.” The special movie in conjunction with the announcement of the release of new versions of 3D animation software packages “Autodesk 3ds Max®” and “Autodesk Maya®.” This film features a battle scene between robots that personify the unique features of each software package, “Max Man” and “Maya Man.” WOW was in charge of planning, character design, and movie creation.
Autodesk’s special site, the 3D model data for the two characters in the film, “Max Man” and “Maya Man” are made available free of charge for use within the software applications. Also, by providing free trial versions of the software packages and an environment that makes it easily accessible, they hope to spark an interest in VFX among new users and the younger generation. They plan to release 3D print data for Max Man and Maya Man, so it will be easy to make 3D prints of the characters.

作品について
3Dアニメーションソフトウェア「Autodesk 3ds Max®」および「Autodesk Maya®」の最新バージョンの発表に合わせ、4Kのスペシャルムービーを制作。各ソフトの特徴を擬人化したロボット「Max Man」と「Maya Man」に見立て、二体のバトルシーンを描いた。WOWは、企画、キャラクターデザイン、ムービー制作を担当。
オートデスクのスペシャルサイトでは、ムービー内で登場する二体のキャラクター「Max Man」と「Maya Man」の3Dモデルデータを無料で提供。同ソフトウェア上でキャラクターを使用した制作体験が可能。また、ソフトウェアの体験版も提供しており、若い世代や新規ユーザーが、よりアクセスしやすい環境、VFXへの興味喚起を狙いとしている。3Dプリント用のデータも公開予定となっており、「Max man」「Maya man」を気軽に3Dプリントすることも可能。

Mexican beer Cerveza Indio is running an advertising campaign featuring the work of cinematographer Emmanuel Chivo Lubezki. Cerveza Indio is marketed as the rebel or underground beer of Mexico, with communication strategy focused on creativity and artistic expressions, such as alternative music, urban art and design. The current campaign hopes to broaden beyond the underground niche to connect the creative, artistic, rebel essence with a wider audience. Emmanuel Lubezki, a three time Oscar winner widely admired in Mexico for his film work, presents a challenge to young people to let go of their fear and search for the authenticity within them. Lubezki was filmed over three days at work in Los Angeles, with the support of fellow director of photographer Alexis Zabé and film director Arturo Pereyra. Lubezki too the team to his favourite places, Los Angeles Theatre, where the light inspires him the most, giving viewers a chance to see him at work, along with the results of his work. The self portrait was aired during the 2016 Oscars, the first commercial after Chico received his his third consecutive cinematography Oscar, for The Revenant, following on from Gravity (2014) and Birdman (2015). The film directs viewers to the Indio site, lubezki.indio.com.mx, where they can explore further Lubezki’s work.

The Cerveza Indio Chivo Lubezki campaign was developed at Montalvo by chief creative officer Pepe Montalvo, copywriter Agustín Vélez, art director Sergio Díaz Infante, account director Romina Levi and agency producer Gilberto Amézquita.

Filming was shot by director Arturo Pereyra with producer Salvador De La Fuente, directors of photography Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki and Alexis Zabé. Music is by Max Richter.

A VIDEO TRIBUTE TO THE WORK OF FILM SCHOLAR ELIZABETH COWIE. A pioneer in psychoanalytic and feminist approaches to cinema studies and author of two important books in our field (REPRESENTING THE WOMAN: PSYCHOANALYSIS AND CINEMA, 1997, and RECORDING REALITY, DESIRING THE REAL, 2011), Professor Elizabeth Cowie recently retired from the post she had held in Film Studies at the University of Kent since 1982. I was very fortunate to work alongside her in that department between 1998 and 2008. I enjoyed and learned so much from that experience that I wanted, personally, to mark this moment of transition in her work with a tribute to it, one especially fuelled by the hope that she will have even more time and space in which to watch and write about movies and the visual arts in future. To make this tribute I asked a few people to whom Elizabeth also means a lot, either as a colleague or as an advisor in the distant or recent past, to pick a favourite short passage from her work, and to record themselves reading it. They sent me the recordings and I crafted a video around them. ANDREW KLEVAN chose to read from Elizabeth Cowie’s ‘Figuring the Fetish’, REPRESENTING THE WOMAN: CINEMA AND PSYCHOANALYSIS (Basingstoke: Macmillan, 1997), pp. 267-8, His reading is accompanied by a remix of MOROCCO (Josef von Sternberg, 1930). CHRISTINE EVANS chose to read from Elizabeth Cowie’s ‘Fantasia’, REPRESENTING THE WOMAN, p. 163. Her reading is accompanied by a remix of THE RECKLESS MOMENT (Max Ophüls, 1949). CORAL HOUTMAN also chose to read from ‘Fantasia’, REPRESENTING THE WOMAN, p. 149. Her reading is accompanied by a remix of NOW, VOYAGER (Irving Rapper, 1942). SARAH WOOD chose to read from Elizabeth Cowie’s ‘Documenting the Real’, RECORDING REALITY, DESIRING THE REAL (Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota Press, 2011), pp. 121-2. Her reading is accompanied by a remix of LET THERE BE LIGHT (John Huston, 1946).
