Yes, i just had to put this on.
On looking again at something more crafted and illustrated I remembered audi produced an advertisement for their new Q5 not so long ago. The character must have been superimposed onto the box other wise they would have gone through loads, this could I think therefore be produced using After Effects. I like the interacticvity and of course the character, it makes it more personal and hand crafted, bringing in i suppose that idea of the car being crafted to perfection.
I love craft and tactile graphics, this video I found whilst Youtube surfing as it were by Su Blackwell a renowned crafter in design whom often uses paper. I really like this stop-frame animation, you have no idea it is an advertisement for a product until right at the end. Beautiful. This type of motion graphics may come in use later in on in the design for digital media module as I would definitely like to experiment again with this form of video.

Its hard not to laugh really. Some lovely stop frame animation by the PEZ design group, myself and Hannah Jackson can across these last year, the one just below gave a little bit of an awkward moment and is very twisted but it was none the less fantastically animated. View their site for full information on their practice and other quirky videos.



BioBak is an interacive site/game, made by Coen Grift (apparently). Fred showed us it on the module brief, its awesome. Incredibly creative yet so simple, it is a completely interactive world in which you complete various tasks and such, like a big adventure. Have a play if you get the chance.

This video is a critical statement towards the Pseudoscience "Intelligent Design" from a Graphic-Designers point of view, i thought it was rather interesting. By 78Bram Via Youtube.

Today we had been looking at story-boarding and looking at dissecting a short film that contained typography of a conversation or short piece of text, working together with Heather Bradley we dissected the text The Hush Sound — Lions Roar from Mig Reyes via Vimeo. We partnered together really well, Heather first looked at the video earlier and is a really interesting piece, I love how interactive the video was and how the text moved although it may not have bared any relation to the sung audio. I also like the use of limited colour pallet on this which I think works really successfully especially with the interaction of the characters.
