Leftchannel: motion 2013 Opener

Columbus-based Leftchannel has been plugging away for over 10 years, but it’s been a while since we’ve posted them on Motionographer.

Their recently launched opener for the 2013 motion Conference, which kicks off this Friday in Albuquerque, breaks that silence. It’s a delightful typographic romp seasoned with cute character work and a couple visual surprises that make it worthy of repeat viewing.

Leftchannel’s Creative Director Alberto Scirocco will also be presenting three sessions at motion 2013.

Onesize: FITC Amsterdam


Stunning main titles for FITC Amsterdam 2013 by Onesize. The design is by Bradley G Munkowitz (aka GMUNK), who also did the whole design package for the festival. More info on the project and collateral pieces here (and a process video below).

The main inspiration for the creative came from the DMT-Delicious moments in the super-favorite film Enter the Void… Munko has been on a tunnel infinite-void kick for some years now and wanted to build a practical, LED installation driven by graphic sequencing, utilizing the techniques learned from the FOTB Titles and applying them into a more densely packed setup called the PYRADICAL… Once the Pyrad was constructed, the aim was to capture the visuals with both high-resolution Film and Still cameras, which would generate a vast library of content to pull from to produce the artwork for the Conference Package.



Design & Concept: GMUNK
Production & Direction : ONESIZE

F5: New Date, Even Happier!

Since we first announced F5, a little roar has grown louder. Many of you want to attend, but just can’t because of timing. It’s happening again on a Thursday and Friday. And the boss is none too happy about giving you all that time off.

Well, your wishes have been answered. Happy F5 is being moved back a day to April 15-16, 2011—Friday and Saturday. And it’ll go down at the world famous Roseland Ballroom in the heart of NYC. We’re also extending the deadline of the current early bird ticket deal to January 17th for all you newcomers.

You embody the essence of F5. It’s important that you all have an opportunity to be a part of the festivities. Our sincere apologies if this is a major inconvenience to all who have already bought tickets. We will fully refund anyone who cannot attend the new dates.

There’s been chatter about who may speak… and we’re still firming up so so many details. But, in the spirit of the new year, we’ll give you highly-complex, over-engineered clues that too shall pass.

Ready? Set? Okay—Go!

F5 Tickets on Sale!

It’s so on. Happy F5 tickets are now live!

We’re summoning the powers of collective incentive, a new approach to early bird purchasing. Here’s how it works: Buy your F5 ticket(s) right about here. If at least 200 of you purchase by New Year’s Eve (December 31st at 11:59pm EST), your ticket will only be $280. The deal will stay alive even after the 200 mark until the time is up. Smiles all around.

But if that scale isn’t “tipped” (200 sold), then the deal is off and your purchase will be refunded. Tickets will then be available at the original ticket price of $480 in January.

Two weeks ago, we opened up tickets to our 2009 attendees and they sold at a pace that far exceeded our expectations. So far, this response has been overwhelming. The creative community has been patiently waiting to take a gulp, blow out those candles and make a big wish.

The question now: How happy do you want to be?
