Pete McDonald has been toiling away for some time at Buck, a studio that I have always respected especially considering some of the fantastic work they produced for us while I was at Cactus for the Own Your C campaign. The talent at Buck runs from floor to ceiling and even seeps all the way into the walls. Apparently Pete has recently decided to have a go at a freelance designer, illustrator and motionographer and as would be expected with someone who has worked for Buck, he has some nice work in his portfolio. Be sure to click through some of great drawings in McDonald’s sketchbook as well.
Nokta is a self-initiated experimental project created by Onur Senturk. It is an an improvisation of organic pieces considering themes like power, chance and luck. It’s also very other-worldly, trippy as hell and super cool.
This is one slick little experimental short musical video by Beeple.
There are some beautiful bits happening in this experimental short film by Sean Vicary.
Description:
“The coastal landscape of West Wales provides the setting for this short film. Animation,music and photography are juxtaposed in order to explore the liminal space between land and sea.
The film has evolved from an original piece produced as part of an audio-visual performance with the composer Tom Middleton at the National Film Theatre, London.”
Motion and interactive designer Johannes Timpernagel has kept him self busy, flexing his creative muscles in the last few months by generating some great experimental animations. You can view them all via his Vimeo page.
Brazilian Art Director Vinicius Costa has updated with a slick new website full of even slicker work. He is currently in the employ of 1st Avenue Machine and specializes in visual effects.
Sorry for the copy and pasting but sometimes it just doesn’t make sense to rewrite something that the creative author obviously spent so much time putting together. Better left to their own words on this one. Amazing little video:
“1923 is one of two new animation loops directed by Max Hattler, inspired by the work of French outsider artist Augustin Lesage. 1923 is based on Lesage’s painting ‘A symbolic Composition of the Spiritual World’ from 1923.
The second loop, 1925, is based on Lesage’s painting ‘A symbolic Composition of the Spiritual World’ from 1925. It will be available soon.
The films were created during 5 days in February 2010 with animators and CG artists at The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark.”

“This video was made by Steffen Bygebjerg in 2009 for the song “End Scene”. The track is taken from Troels Abrahamsen’s album WHT also from 2009.
The animation work was made in Adobe After Effects. Each frame was then printed and the print was subsequently scanned back into the computer. The scanned frames were then assembled back into the original animation, now with a new rugged look, created by the visit in the physical analogue world. No effects added after scanning.”
Los Angeles-based motion designer Nathaniel Howe has updated with a massive scroll of motion boards. Many of which are just downright beautiful with single frames that could serve as stand alone pieces of fine art.
I am not sure if this music video by Superelectric for NOISIA’s latest single ‘Machine Gun’ from their new album ‘Split The Atom’ is an official video or not, but it doesn’t really matter because it’s bad ass.
Here is a really beautiful little video for the Portland band AU, for their new release ‘Versions’ that was directed and produces by Takafumi Tsuchiya (TAKOM).
This little video by Tapebox, a London-based animation duo comprised of Dan Hayhurst (audio) and Reuben Sutherland (visual) kind of tripped me out. I love the throwback reference to the zoetrope. I had to make one of those in college. Cool work indeed.
Holke79 has updated with a new reel that is serving as a temporary holder until he launches a new site. Site or not the reel is worth watching and jam packed with some great motion work.
Agency KesselsKramer commissioned Johnny Kelly and artist Jethro Haynes to create the title sequence for Dutch TV programme Het Klokhuis (The Apple Core). They achieved the final sequence using 3D printing, essentially printing the sequential tranisitionary imagery and then shooting it. You can just imagine how labor intensive and time consuming the process must have been. Creative Review has more about the creation of the sequence along with several photos and credits.
This is one fine little piece of brain candy produced by Takuya Hosogane. You can see the full credits at the Vimeo page for the video and learn more about some of Hosogane’s other projects at Bonsajo.
Universal Everything has released their reel for 2010. As always, there is some spectacular work to behold, they remain at the top of the game.
