Created by Vancouver Film School students Marcos “Boca” Ceravolo and Ryan Ulrich, Duelity is a pair of short animations that describe the beginning of time from a creationist and evolutionist perspective. An ironic take on the subject, Duelity tells the creationist's version of the beginning of the universe using the language of science and presents the scientific cosmology of evolutionists using Biblical lingo.
Beautifully designed and illustrated with a very clean, tight animation style, the shorts can be watched separately or side-by-side simultaneously. The look and imagery of each piece coincides perfectly with the scientific or religious wording. It's a paradoxical experiment that shows just how much the language we use can influence the way we present and receive ideas. Watch and download the piece here.

HD TV was made for the type of lyrical detail in the recent video that our friends at New York-based Psyop created for MTV HD. Set to a score that re-interprets Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata," the 90-second piece features finely-rendered images of flying black birds (alone and in flocks), branching abstract forms, and birch forests that morph into one another against a white background. The...
For over a quarter century, MTV's been mining up-and-coming talent to create what are often the smartest, funniest, and all-around most compelling bits on the station—or anywhere on TV for that matter. Those old enough will remember the early wacky, animated logos, but more recently MTV's channel ids and ads have taken the form of short films and are often where designers like Huntergatherer...

Since first watching Lobo's reel, I've played it probably 20 times - as much for the fluid motion of an unfurling pink hibiscus (for Diesel), or the geek appeal of a textbook-style diagram of a carbonated soda, as for the anthemic choice of soundtrack, Alice Cooper's "Drones." When I ask creative director Mateus de Paula Santos why he chose the music, he answers simply,...
