Hasta La Motion!

Toronto based Tendril continue their string of impressive project with Flash Tutorial / Interac, with stellar Music & Sound Design by John Black of Cypheraudio.

Check out Tenril’s Stills and Process … “Our strategy was to keep the design visually minimal and graphic as possible, relying on unexpected twists, snappy animation timing, and quick transitions to establish and maintain the pace.

On a technical level, because of the complex deformations, dimensionality, and lipsync the script called for, the wallet was rigged and animated in 3D, but rendered with flat colours to look 2D. Some other elements like the coins were also handled this way. The rest of the elements were animated in After Effects. In the end, we had a huge amount of fun creating this piece and hope you enjoy watching it!

J-Scott is a Canadian Motion Designer who recently finished interning at Digital Kitchen. During his time there he was asked to create a personal project of his choice. The result is this :60 spot Hockey 101.

This is pretty damn cool … Nando Costa is putting together a new short film called The New America, where an advanced society experiences structural and financial collapse (good timing), re-emerging with values rooted in nature. Interesting enough on its own, but the extremely unique apsect of the short is that every frame of the movie would be engraved on wood – similar to Nando’s previous wood engraved artwork – and each person sponsoring the film would essentially keep a one-of-a-kind wood frames.
