Lavazza – White Paper City

Coffee makers Lavazza have commissioned a beautiful intricate animation using cut paper.

One day in the White Paper city, early morning people wake up and begin to live their lifes.
There’s something new in the main square, something growing…

I love the style of the buildings and the attention to detail, in creating the section of city. Really nice work.

The secret lives of Books

Ace little animation with books doing really cute things like reading and swimming… really nice and obviously lots of work!

The Joy of Books

After organizing our bookshelf almost a year ago (http://youtu.be/zhRT-PM7vpA), my wife and I (Sean Ohlenkamp) decided to take it to the next level. We spent many sleepless nights moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto (883 Queen Street West, (416) 366-8973).

Everything you see here can be purchased at Type Books.

Grayson Matthews (http://www.graysonmatthews.com/) generously composed the beautiful, custom music.

First seen, on this ace blog, right here.

Time is Nothing

Brilliant timelapse which has been making the rounds, makes for envious viewing… especially when reading Kerouac… – Damn I want to travel again soon!

By Kien Lam

17 Countries. 343 Days. 6237 Photographs. One incredible journey.

After I quit my job last year, I packed a bag, grabbed my camera and bought a one way ticket to London. 17 countries later, I put together this time lapse video of the many amazing places I came across.

What Light

Dir: Sarah Wickens / 2009 / UK
The sunlight cast through a bedroom window breaks free and takes on new shapes as it journeys around the room.

RCA 2009

Brilliant, no CGI just sunlight, mirrors, and cut paper that produces a stunningly beautiful and delicate effect.

Making Future Magic: iPad light painting

Wow somebody came up with a use for the iPad!!

…as it turns out a use that’s beautiful and clever, using modern technology but with a very analogue feel! Check out the video, really nice.

This film explores playful uses for the increasingly ubiquitous ‘glowing rectangles’ that inhabit the world.

We use photographic and animation techniques that were developed to draw moving 3-dimensional typography and objects with an iPad. In dark environments, we play movies on the surface of the iPad that extrude 3-d light forms as they move through the exposure. Multiple exposures with slightly different movies make up the stop-frame animation.

Jim Hensons Time Piece

Time Piece is an experimental short film produced, directed, and written by Jim Henson, who also played the leading role. Henson began the project in the spring of 1964 and continued to work on it for nearly a year, between commercial projects and various Muppet television appearances. The short film premiered in May 1965 at the Museum of Modern Art and was distributed through Pathe Contemporary films to arthouse theaters and the film festival circuit. It played in New York City along with the French feature A Man and a Woman.

Definitely worth a watch!!
