Insignificant Objects

23rd February 2010

Each day, we are surrounded by seemingly insignificant objects, taking them from one place to the other, or leaving them on a table for weeks, without paying any attention to them.

This experiment is about re-discovering our daily surroundings. Each object is assigned to a letter on the keyboard, and can be activated or deactivated at any time.

You can also play the sounds online using your keyword.

The Best CGI Ever

3rd February 2010

Hi there,

I had a lovely Korean dinner (thanks Elle, Hamish and Sam) last Friday. Hamish is a master in 3D and After Effects and at the end of the night, (after few beers and shots, I have to say) he showed us what he thinks is the masterpiece of CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery): The Third and the Seventh . We actually loved it so I think you will too, check it out.

It’s pure architecture through the cinematographic lens. A full-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already-built spaces

Directed, modeling, textured, illumination and rendering by Alex Roman with a very low budget.

Fullscreen it, please

nothing is real

If you like visual effects you are going to enjoy watching this video.

If after watching this video you are a bit disappointed with how the films/tv series are recorded, you can blame the high tech production company stargatefilms.com

I’m sorry this was not the video I posted at the first moment but the company has decided to put it off from all the sources, and I couldn’t find “Stargate Studios VFX Reel 2009″ video anywhere else, vimeo (no longer exists), youtube (this video is private),… so I had to post another one. If they’ve done that deliberately, Stargate Studio might be a very good company working with 3D animations or special effects but they are not spreading their work.

mobile jingle

15th December 2009

It’s true, even though we are in the digital era, people is still receiving boring Christmas cards. But not every one, James Theophone and guys from Lost Boys International, an Interactive Agency from London, built and hoisted a gigantic interactive chandelier/mobile that plays Christmas jingles in their reception.


Not only that, you can also play your own mobile jingle online (straight away from your web browser) and enjoy annoying the people waiting in their reception (take a while to load but it’s worth it)
