Fantastic animation sponsored by Nike
Awesome animated sequence which features a lovely soundtrack by Caribou. What’s nice is the small acknowledged to Nike sponsorship at the beginning and end, but nothing more - subtlety for a change.
Ikea tries something different…
Checkout Ikea Sweden’s new storytelling site for their PS range of eco-friendly solutions (thanks to Adverblog for the heads-up). The site mixes, beautiful cutout-style animation with video and audio in a really successful manner.
Through a rather bizarre setting of flying objects, the user is encouraged to make a selection and watch a short video about the object through its designer’s eyes. Each of the settings is different and appropriate to the ’story’ being told.
Not being fluent in Swedish makes certain elements within the navigation difficult, but you do get the general gist of what’s going on. Upon a second viewing, I discovered the slide-up navigation on the bottom which stopped me from returning to the ‘weird flying objects’ scene each time - much easier!
Motion / Nice flash experiment
Simple experiment / nice idea - well executed / check it out
How ‘Get The Glass’ was built
Interesting process that first dealt with 3D and then moved to modelling and photography for better results. They also show some testing for pieces such as the dice and water. Visit the site
Pleix Films
Very very cool and creative music videos.
Be sure to check out the ‘BIRDS’ vid taken at super fast shutter speed.
Next generation site
This is SUPERB! Very well thought out and executed. I’ll be interested to hear Christian’s views of how it was all done. Very “Invincibles” but to achieve this on the web and to get a client to fund it is a real piece of work.
