Beautiful abstract film celebrating the OFFF festival of design, photography and motion
A lesson in transitions here, using 2D motion graphics composited and interacting with 3D elements for a trailer for an arcade game app.
An info-graphic film but holds very little statistics in terms of text and numbers, mostly relying on transition graphic imagery to convey the details.
To This Day is a project based on a spoken word poem written by Shane Koyczan called “To This Day”, to further explore the profound and lasting impact that bullying can have on an individual. Animators and motion artists brought their unique styles to 20 second segments that will thread into one fluid voice.
An interesting mix of styles combining the foundations of a studio shoot with lots of overlaid graphics informing the viewer about the collections and work of this Dutch centre for biodiversity studies. Agency – PlusOne
Simple, in style and colour animation but with clever technicalities and expertly executed.
Another use of 3D unfolding card, getting more and more complex. A small world is unraveled in a small fresh colour scheme with wonderful camera movements.
This is an amazing piece of work. The camera movement, depth of field, modelling and explosions work really well.
Prologue piece together a clever device shooting close-ups with a muted palette and short depth of field. The series is a modern take on Sherlock Holmes by CBS starring Lucy Liu as Watson. I know, right.
Another video looking like a 70s instructional manual, but nicely packaged and expertly done. I always like anything isometric.
Nice combination of 2D and 3D to create a hi-tech styled commercial for a magazine app.
As far as i can make out most of this promo was achieved in camera with very little apparent past-production.
The new 2012 trailer for Wimbledon from Red Bee Media. Still trying to work out whether this this could have been achieved without painstaking attention to detail.
Demo reel for Sander can Dijk. Involves some nice kaleidoscopic 2D graphics and some 3D. Also a nice photo rip idea half way through.
Manvsmachine created these 10 abstract collisions for Toyota sponsorship for C4 programming.
Production company:Nexus & Audio: Echolab
Quayola (aka ‘dQ’) and Memo Akten through digital production outfit Nexus Interactive Arts, have created ‘Forms’, a multiscreen digital artwork commissioned by the National Media Museum for the exhibition In the Blink of an Eye: Media and Movement, which is part of the Cultural Olympiad programme.
A lot of work has gone into this intel commercial Smith & Foulkes (nexus productions).
Very good use of presenter in a studio cut with very stylised graphics. Design & Animation: Oz Smith
Creative Director: Greg Millar for BBC sport.
A fine piece of work by agency ‘plus one’ using a collection of techniques to attempt to get under the paint of these collection of works, in this case on the story of Amsterdam, Holland.
A montage here of lots of clips, useful for a bit of inspiration. Starting with adapting photos and moving in to all sorts of idents and motion graphics. Useful credit list of all the featured films at the end too.
I guess these guys got in before airmiles added their fees & taxes. Great little sequence which must have been months in the planning.
What appears to be a great piece of motion capture was actually created using stills which were then applied to 3D models of human heads to create the idea of cameras moving around frozen action.
3D schematics are layouts of the cruise ships give an investigative look to the Dispatches look at Cruise ship employment

Discovery channel ident using 3D composited over blue-print backgrounds to create a diagramatic data look.
Advert using film frames and alot of 3D to create a fast-paced adventure through their TV programming.
Technical graphics and kaleidoscopic animation provide a data heavy car commercial.
Beautiful camera work, interesting fashion and left-field additions to the landscape.
Lively website inspired by Victorian posters, which moves in sections, up and across.
Link to this here.
A complex mixing of styles and worth a view for the design if not the message. Watch on motiongraphics.
Yes everyone has gone gaming made in the UK since they relaxed the rules but this promo from ‘The Mill’ is a quite a good use of the video being tracked and added overlays to increase the tension.
Superb use of the pop up book to animate this tale.
Directed by Psyop.
Clever and subtle use of repeated computer animation in to synchronise to a rhythm.
WWF advert using CGI rope to create shapes and figures, showing how everything is simply connected.
Visual Complexity is a site which houses a complex and varied range of sources of data visualisations.
A great little idea which was the brainchild of Robert Edmonds at Rocket Science Group. Graphics & compositing by TDD
