F5 RE:PLAY FILM FESTIVAL

One of the driving ideals behind F5 is the celebration of creativity for creativity’s sake. Money might make the world go ’round, but it doesn’t necessarily help you jump out of bed every morning.

In that spirit, we created the F5 RE:PLAY film festival. We invited some of our favorite studios and independent directors to create short films ranging in length from 15 seconds to 2 minutes on the topics of rejuvenation, regrowth, rebirth and/or revival. There’s no real brief; we just want people to express themselves and stretch their wings a bit.

The films will be shown on the main stage at F5 between speakers, on plasmas around the F5 event space, here on Motionographer (after the event) and on the F5 website.

The RE:PLAY lineup is as follows:

  • Blacklist (Nanospore, Pistachios and Holbrooks)
  • Buck
  • Click 3X
  • Cody Cobb
  • Crush
  • Digital Kitchen
  • Imaginary Forces
  • Luis Torres/La Flama
  • Matt Lambert/1st Ave Machine
  • Not To Scale/Ubik
  • Ryan Rothermel/Sean Pecknold
  • Saiman Chow
  • Sehsucht
  • Shilo
  • Superfad

I’m really excited to see what everyone creates. Join us as we gather to revel in radness and restart our collective engine. Out with 2008, in with 2009!

Pixel Aspect Ratio Problem Maybe?

Posted in: Digital Fusion / DFX+
I picked up the LE of Fusion just to see what it was like. I mostly do any compositing in After Effects but wanted to see what Fusion had to offer, seeing it is node based.

I’ve already finished this compositing clip in AE but wanted to try it in Fusion. However, it wont work. The renders of the bg and the character are from the same camera in Maya, set at 720×486. When I overlay everything in a 720 comp in AE, it’s perfect. However, when I do it in Fusion, my character is 50 times as big. It looks normal in both windows when they aren’t merged.

I gave as much info as I could in this jpg. Could anyone tell me maybe why the character is fitting so big overtop of this bg? I noticed the pixel aspect ratio looks different in the bg loader but Im not sure why as its a 720×480 image… I can’t figure out what the problem is. Thanks.

Getty Images Short Film

Posted in: Animazione 2d, Animazione 3d, cortometraggio, Getty Images, Italiani, Laurie Hill, Motiongraphics

Si è da poco concluso il contest istituito dalla famosa Getty Images per realizzare un cortometraggio utilizzando solo le immagini e i video conservati nell’archivio Hulton di proprietà di Getty. Il vincitore (tra i 300 partecipanti tra agenzie o freelance) delle 5000 sterline è stato Laurie Hill con il suo cortometraggio “Fotografia di Gesù”. Il video in questione illustra le richieste varie, e oserei dire pazzesche, che arrivano ogni giorno all’archivio, foto di Gesù, foto dello Yeti, Jack lo Squartatore, gruppi di persone sulla luna ecc.ecc. Lo stile ricorda il documentario con parti animate in 2d e stop motion, molto simpatico.

Clicca sull’immagine per il video.
