Love the latest spot from Buenos Aires Animation & Design Studio Soup: show package for TyC Sports showcasing the lifestyle, trips, interviews and training stories of Argentinean Soccer Team “De Selección”.
Recently jumped back into the freelance game so I launched a redesigned website and updated show-reel at digitalblackbook.com. Take a look around and let me know what you think – @amador_v
Two amazing game trailers in one day: Check out this 3:15 trailer for Ubisoft’s The Crew. Incredible CG and post-production by Unit Image. If you like cars, car games or appreciate CG this is for you. Unit Image also put up a great making-of:
New CG trailer for Microsoft/343 Industries’ Halo Xbox One. Directed by John Allardice with all CG animation production by Axis Animation. Absolutely stellar work as per usual from Axis.
Pardon the interruption — I’ve recently jumped back into the world of freelance, launching a new reel and site with new and old client and personal work. Please have a look and if you like, help a bruther out ::: share/like/comment/say hello ; )
Crazy short film from three recent grad students from the University of the Arts Utrecht (HKU). “After many months of tough love and hard work we are happy to present our animation movie, “Endtrip”, to the world.” The film has already been officially selected for the KLIK! Amsterdam animation festival.
Endtrip is an animation short film in which we experience a breathtaking trip through the bizarre and fantastical unconsciousness of a drug overdosed girl. This visually stunning journey offers a stereoscopic 3D glimpse into the extraordinary and strange workings of the mind. Reality and fantasy become intertwined into a dream where nothing is as it seems and we can only expect the unexpected.
You can watch Endtrip here: http://vimeo.com/endtrip/film
update: Audio by the always impressive Mr. Gavin Little, aka Echolab.
Check out the latest work from Nike Sportswear and long-time collaborator Royale, a digital design company with offices in Los Angeles and Seattle: Tech Fleece: “Inside the Innovation”
Royale’s incredibly detailed CG animation takes us on a fantastic voyage of the design and execution process of a hoodie, from threads being woven on a high-tech, circular-knit loom to its perfect fit on a person’s body. Nike Tech Fleece is a unique thermal fabrication that merges a smooth jersey with a synthetic spacer to create “Warmth Without Weight.”
“Nike wanted a piece that shows how an equal amount of technology goes into building its street wear as does its footwear,” said Brien Holman, ECD/Partner at Royale. “The actual process of creating such a lightweight fleece is what we wanted to focus on. We built a CG loom that would realistically spool hundreds of thousands of threads into one piece of fabric. The Tech Fleece Hoodie is constructed within this loom, giving extra attention to the elements that make it unique.”The spot is running online at sites such as YouTube and throughout Nike’s media channels, which include its retail store screens, outdoor media and Nike.com. Royale’s effort supports the launch of the Nike Tech Pack: Tech Fleece debut Fall/Holiday 2013 Collection, which is now available at Nike
Sportswear retailers and Nike.com. Tech Fleece evolves the fit, feel and function of Nike’s most iconic sportswear silhouettes—such as hoodies, crewnecks and zip-up sweaters—to the fabric.
Sick new spot from Jon Noorlander who has been tearing it up for Method Design: Nascar Dogfight TVC.
Sehsucht Creative addict Hans-Christoph Schultheiss turns a rejected animation project into a slippery self-promotion campaign not only to boast Sehsucht‘s mad render skills but to answer the ever present question that spurs us every second: What is visual addiction?
Based on an ancient recipe discovered by mystical aztec tribes that utilized the toxin of a rare species of colorful frogs we feed our minds with an highly addictive substance to create visuals beyond imagination. Through digital dreams we make the frog dance.
