Cut&Paste NYC 2009
(18 March 2009) - It's about time for Cut&Paste NYC '09 and this year's event should be better than ever with multiple categories, higher stakes and DJ Rich Medina spinning.

Pretty Loaded
(13 January 2009) - While most of us sit annoyed waiting for heavily coded Flash websites to load—or perhaps abandon them all together—Pretty Loaded has a different take on this pesky little time frame. Created by the Brooklyn-based digital creative agency Big Spaceship, Pretty Loaded is a curated archive of preloading screens and animations, proving that those few seconds, or minutes, can serve as what they call "short-attention-span-theater."...

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights Animated
(10 October 2008) - To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, CH friend and colleague Seth Brau recently completed the rather daunting task of bringing the words to life with motion graphics. The result is on one hand elegant — using a two-tone palette, linear — and on the other an experimental take on scale, the use of typography and symbolism. Given complete...

Forget the Film, Watch the Titles Database
(01 August 2008) - Main title sequences for films have always held a very special place in my heart. From "The Good the Bad and The Ugly" (pictured below) to "City Slickers" and "XXX: State of the Union," title sequences have played an important role in setting a stylistic tone for a movie, or they're just there to totally blow your mind. Sometimes they're even better than the...

theAnemix at Harrods
(19 February 2008) - If you were impressed with the holographic effects used at Diesel's runway show last year, you'd be just as taken with the neat 3-D lighting window displays Chilean group theAnemix created especially for Harrods' in-store "Senses" campaign currently running in London. (Click images for detail.) Architects and designers Ximena Munoz and Paulina Villalobos studied bioluminescence before coming up with their LED lighting system, which...

Duelity
(11 December 2007) - 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...

Silkmag Project #1
(27 November 2007) - The talented employees at Brazilian animation studio Lobo—whose work for clients like Diesel, Hershey, Cartoon Network and more jumps continents—made some extra time recently to put together their first edition of Silkmag, a collection of silkscreened works showcasing the personal work of its 12 animators and designers "free of clients or briefings." Fresh air, then. Each of the 100 copies created were meticulously made...

Holographic Diesel Show
(28 June 2007) - Last week, at the Pitti Immagine Fashion Fair in Florence, Diesel wowed the style crowds with an impressive multimedia show. Using CGI technology, projected motion graphics of models and creatures from the deep created the illusion that they were moving together down the runway along with live models. The show, entitled "Liquid Space," played with concepts of metamorphosis as strange hybrid forms of man,...

Nokia Flagship Store, NYC
(06 September 2006) - Yesterday I had a sneak peek at Nokia's flagship store that will open here in NYC on Saturday (9 September 2006). The store, located just east of 5th Avenue on 57th Street, is the second Nokia store to open here in the US. Aiming to change the experience of learning about and purchasing wireless devices, Nokia's stores are highly experiential and are staffed by...

Lobo, 6 Questions
(09 September 2005) - 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,...

The Orphanage, 6 Questions
(06 September 2005) - I know I've got California on the line when Orphanage cofounder Scott Stewart and founding member Dav Rauch volunteer their astrological signs (Cancer and Taurus, respectively) within minutes into the conversation. At the crossroads of design and technology, San Francisco was a natural birthplace for the Emmy-nominated effects company where Rauch (pictured, right) continues to design and direct in their Presidio Park offices (soon...

RES' Comics and Animation Issue
(26 July 2005) - The July/August issue of geek chic arts and culture magazine RES brims with a crop of comic-book-fans-come-of-age who are making their own mark in today's media. Profiles include Matthew Vescovo, the artist and self-proclaimed "master of the obvious" behind award-winning MTV spots and the book Instructoart, which is full of wry observations illustrated with vector graphics, airplane pamphlet-style. His "Perspective" literalizes the "grass is...
