This book looks pretty cool. Reminds me of the book project we had in Ryan’s image making class. All about happy accidents and the image you can create you didn’t know you could.
As people begin to work on their altered books in Image Making 2, I figured I would share this recent short film by Adam Gault. In Off the Course Gault brings to life the altered book.
If you are in the mood for more motion work involving the book, check out the title sequence for Bored to Death.
Hi everyone – I haven’t posted to this blog in a while, but here’s some good information about being a creative professional by Nick Campbell from Digital Kitchen. Be sure to check out his blog, portfolio, and the five second projects on video (all linked below):
I’m not going to attempt translating this, but this piece is pretty amazing. You have to watch it with 3d glasses, though (or cd case colored with red/blue sharpie).
This video has been out on the interwebs for some time now but I figured I would share it as some of the seniors soon approach graduation in a few weeks. Nick Campbell of Digital Kitchen (and greyscalegorilla his personal site) shares his thoughts on what it takes to get into the business of motion design.
I personally think he hits the nail on the head when he says that in school you need to know the basics, good design principles, good typography, etc. He makes it a point to say that the creative stuff and formal stuff comes first, and then learning software is something you can do at anytime.
This is very much the philosophy of most architecture schools, teach design first, then upon graduation and in the real world one learns the nuts and bolts of putting buildings together, working with clients, etc.
If you get a chance check out the blog on his site greyscalegorilla there are plenty of good things there especially some nice Cinema 4D tutorials.
So, this isn’t perhaps the coolest ever video and the Fatboy Slim song is a bit distracting but I think there is a real context here about our changing society. It’s definitely not the card catalog, no such thing as internet, days that I grew up in.
