Lynda.com has put up a great, free behind-the-scenes look at GMUNK‘s geometric art and design process. “Learn how he uses a web app developed with code artist Marcin Ignac to divide simple primitives into complex multifaceted shapes, and then sends the results to Maya for shading, lighting, and rendering. It’s a completely unorthodox use of this 3D toolset—but it’s typical of GMUNK’s work.”
Cut&Paste founder John Fiorelli and HP presented just a few weeks ago London’s Hero, an new digital event featuring six of London’s best animation studios. In collaboration with Blackmeal, Mummu, Fred & Eric, Animade, Territory, and Golden Wolf, the animation project facilitated the studios working to tell the story of London’s newest superhero.
From 26 September to 15 October, each team worked sequentially, animating a ten-second portion representing a different life stage – baby, child, teen, adult, midlife, senior – and stitching each clip together.
All animators threw down at ZED, HP’s Pop-Up Studio for Creatives, using HP’s Z820 workstations and endless coffee & beer.
At the end of it each member of the participating studio teams received an HP ElitePad Windows tablet. Sweet!
Which City would be the next Hero?!

Hornet directors, Mixtape Club and Yves Geleyn, recently collaborated on this project for St. Louis Children’s Hospital’s ‘Pursue Knowing’ campaign. The clever transitions and mixed elements illustrate how rich and full of possibilities a child’s imagination can be when learning about the world around them.
“When Mixtape Club and Yves set about defining the look and feel of the spot, they knew they wanted it to be tactile and playful. The directors individually fabricated elements like the paper lighthouse, origami birds, and a quilted globe. When animated and composited into each scene, these physical models replicated how a child’s imagination creates entire fantastic worlds from familiar surroundings.”
