infographic

i saw this french info-graphic at a customer service phone at Paris CDG airport. i’m really interested in the symbol in the top right corner with the two overlapping faces. it reminds me of this (check out 1:26).

i think it’s supposed to mean “meeting point.” weird.

webcams + fans = awesome vid

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

this awesome music video for the japanese group sour was made by their fans on webcams. it’s an amazing example of low-tech process / high-end results.

This music video was shot for Sour’s ‘Hibi no Neiro’ (Tone of everyday) from their first mini album ‘Water Flavor EP’. The cast were selected from the actual Sour fan base, from many countries around the world. Each person and scene was filmed purely via webcam.

Director: Masashi Kawamura + Hal Kirkland + Magico Nakamura + Masayoshi Nakamura

flash! typography!

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

i created this typographic animation for prof. christie shin’s digital design i class at pratt.

the assignment was to create an animation in flash primarily using typography, representing a neighborhood in new york city. we also had to create a brand identity for the neighborhood. i chose stuyvesant heights - my neighborhood! my intention with this animation was to brand stuyvesant heights historic district as a destination for anyone who appreciates brooklyn history and is interested in the culture, community and architecture of this extremely well preserved, turn of the century neighborhood.

our next assignment is to create an image-based animation using after effects.

i’m excited about the second assignment, as i’ve never used after effects before. this assignment wasn’t necessarily easy (although i do have ample experience creating websites in flash) but it’ll be interesting to see if i’m savvy enough to be able to translate the images in my head to the screen.

ps - grad school rocks.
