Rogier van der Zwaag directed this amazing stop motion music video for Nobody Beats the Drum’s track Poisson Vert. “We made this one in a forest, shot most of it in 7 (long) nights and after that I made some inserts of tunnels and bushes in a studio.” Really love the dynamic play of […]

Vienna based designer/animator Markus Wagner and LWZ collective recently completed this music video for composer Matthias Hacksteiner’s final university project; Amongst Giants.
Watching Apache is like riding a merry-go-round of revolving visuals. With each part building upon itself in steady rotations, the piece reads like a narrative. Directed by illustrator Ned Wenlock, alongside character animator Rodney Selby, Apache is a Wild West inspired music-video for indie rock band, Danger Beach. Through a looping tale of time and travel, the characters assume several modes of transportation, only to be defeated by the modern metropolis.

Happy F5 April 15 – 16 2011 by Hi-Sim from F5 on Vimeo.
If you’ve been patiently awaiting this post, thank you.
To clue you in on the behind-the-scenes since November, we’ve been working NON-STOP to reach out and secure the speakers who you’ve all wanted to see. There have been hundreds of recommendations – tons of outreach emails – and so many wonderful responses from artists who see F5 as the gateway to new playgrounds of creativity. This curation would’ve made for a great reality show, but we lack the tans and vocal chops to secure future syndication.
Our final group of speakers for Happy F5:
Closing the show on Friday night, PressPausePlay will introduce something new to the festival’s history: a screening of a yet-to-be-released film and discussion with the filmmakers. It’s a powerful work on the future of our collective artistry in the face of a democratized culture. And a thoughtful opportunity to reassess the positives and negatives behind technological innovation.
To recap and refresh the full line-up of Happy F5:
The RE:PLAY film festival brings together a number of the best studios and independent directors out there to create short films on the simple topic of happiness.
And, as the icing on the cake, the RE:VISION gallery space will showcase the work of emerging and world-renowned artists and designers.
We’d be remiss to not point out the final piece to Happy F5 in 2011. Each morning before the festival begins, the first ever Motion Design Roundtable will convene to begin crafting a Code of Standards for the motion design industry. We’ve invited representatives from the different parts of our industry to the forum for two hours each morning. F5 is the perfect occasion for this gathering of minds, and we’re confident that the work the Motion Design Roundtable undertakes will help shape the industry for the better. All results will be posted on Motionographer for feedback from the industry-at-large. Wish them luck!
Whew. Inspiration, discussion, balloons, games, drinks…this year’s event has it all. Check out the speakers page for a schedule of all speaker sessions.
And, since some of your bosses are still breathing down your neck to hit that Friday deadline – we’re now offering one-day only tickets for Saturday, April 16th. Check the tickets page for more info.
//Hat tip to Hi-Sim for graciously allowing us to use their beautiful RE:PLAY short above! See it both days at F5//
While we’re on the subject of minimalism and directors, Lorenzo Fonda just busted out this sweet little piece of minimalistic awesomeness for Metronomy’s new single “The Look.” The stop motion is really great, and plays as a nice little story juxtapozed with the footage of the band.
Nexus‘ directing talent Celyn recently wrapped up this animated promo for Wagon Christ’s new track “Chunkothy” from their eagerly awaited Toomorrow LP (for which Celyn also created the album sleeve). Interesting, the entire animation was made in Photoshop. “I basically wanted to make an animation as close to something printed as possible, in line […]
