Japan – A Strange Country

YouTube Preview Image

This 10 minute infomercial is made by Kenichi Tanakaas a final thesis project. Even though there might be more impressive ones – graphics-wise -around, this one is done pretty well not only because it’s 10 minutes long and keeps you interested all the way, but also because it does a good job of showing information in a understandable way. I first saw the Japanese version and it amazed me that I could actually “understand” everything!

Jonas & François

YouTube Preview Image
The previous post of Pas reminded me that Justice also released this really cool video with motion graphics on t-shirts for the song D.A.N.C.E.. This video made by the French duo Jonas & François has been nomitated for “Video of the Year” by MTV in 2007, so you probably have seen it before. They’ve done a similar video with LP covers which is the one above, which is a teaser for the ED Banger Vol. 2.

The duo has done many music videos like Madonna’s 4 Minutes, but it seems like the ones using animations are the best ones. The one above is the music video for Kavinsky’s Testarossa Autodrive.

As with their other videos, here’s another one that’s recognizable for its animation, rotoscoping and typography: Flair’s Better than Prince. If anybody knows the official page for Jonas & François please post the link – it’s seems like my Googling skills are a bit off today.

T-Shirt War

YouTube Preview Image
A stop motion video where there’s animation on shirts! Over 222 shirts have been used in this Rhett & Link music video directed by Joe Penna. Here’s some info from YouTube:

We changed shirts over 100 times each, taking individual pictures of each unique shirt. The designs on the shirts are not photoshopped. They are real shirts for each frame of animation. The video was exported at 30fps, while the T-shirt animation moves at 6fps (with a few exceptions where it moves faster) So, for each shirt, we took 5 pictures, so the animation of us (Rhett&Link) moves at 30fps, but the T-shirt animations move a bit slower. There are a few places where the motion seems so smooth that it looks like video. That’s because, in those parts, there was no changing in T-shirts, and Joe used burst mode to capture the frames, making it look very smooth.

It’s smart how this doesn’t only meant to sell their music, but shirts as well!
