Digital Kitchen: Seattle International Film Festival 2009

Reprising last year’s hilarious work for the Seattle International Film Festival, Digital Kitchen has again teamed up again with SIFF films to create a brilliantly inventive trailer and commercial.

This year’s rendition builds on audio sampled from previous SIFF films to create a disjointed steam-of-consciousness narrative. The visuals are lush, jewel-toned dreams rendered by hand in acetate, paper cut out and ferns(!). I only wish I could see this on the big screen.

2009 is really shaping up to be the year of analogue. Digital post-production finishing adds layers of needed polish, but analoge animation techniques are really experiencing a renaissance. Fun times!

Crush’s Yoho Hang Yue for World Fishing Network

Posted in: broadcast design, fishing, General, idents, IDs, silhouette, toronto

Crush’s Yoho Hang Yue (reel) lent his expert comedic timing and spot-on character animation skils to the World Fishing Network for a series of chuckletastic IDs. The soothing compositions of silhouettes against warm backdrops sets up a false sense of calm that’s happily obliterated by each ID’s punchline.

Watch six of the IDs here. Visit Crush’s site.
