Hasta La Motion!

Watching the grace, power and honesty of dance, you can’t help but feel completely inspired. You let the rest of the world disappear and you are frozen in that moment of time. Eila is an incredible individual and talented dancer in NYC. These are her moments.

“You need to fight your demons, break your comfort zones. That’s what you do if you want to grow…if you want to keep getting better.”

Dancer: Eila Valls
Gibney Studios
Music: Tony Anderson

Update: I was fortunate enough to work with Eila again (1 year later and this time with her boyfriend) for a wonderfully choreographed piece of dance we’re calling “Within Reach”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fSBWjrPRQo

“Hugo in the Garden” is a multi-collaborative project. Here we explore how artificial common materials work into an organic atmosphere. Some polyurethane foam creating a kind of creeper or some machine knitted wool growing around a plastic bonsai. All of them grow, like the plants we all know. But particularly these ones, in a different way. We Started from the sketches of Eze Matteo. Six N. Five took all of them and made the 3d art direction and sculptures design. Twistedpoly was in charge of the beautiful animations and edition. The final touch was from Cypheraudio, who made the lovely music and the sound design. Enjoy the results! Directed by Six N. Five + Twistedpoly Design & Art Direction by Six N. Five 2D sketches by Eze Matteo Animation & edit by Twistedpoly Music & Sound Design by John Black / CypherAudio

Join a 1920s paleontology expedition to the Gobi Desert with Roy Chapman Andrews, then visit modern-day museum collections with paleontologist Mike Novacek to discover how these finds are studied today. This 360 video is part of Shelf Life’s second season, exploring fantastic stories from far-away places where some of the American Museum of Natural History’s 33 million specimens and artifacts were discovered. The series links those collection items and epic adventures of the past with current scientific inquiry. Visit our series website for more info: http://www.amnh.org/ShelfLife For this film, our producers unearthed, scanned, and transferred thousands of archival elements to build a virtual Gobi Desert, layering material into a 360 canvas. Those black and white images were integrated with matte painting, 360 environment creation, and live-action shoots to produce a captivating look at one of the most important expeditions in the Museum’s history.
