SSSEEN!

“This video is an in-depth look at the techniques and technologies used by Digital Domain, a leading visual effects company, to produce the Hollywood blockbuster Tron: Legacy.”

Commercial for the beer brand Guiness. with superb visual effects. Winner of Imagina Awards 2006. It is directed by Daniel Kleinman, who is primarily known for creating James Bond title sequences, like the one for Casino Royale. At archive.org you can find an interesting read about him.

If you’re a fan of Justice, then no doubt you’ve already seen this. For the rest of you, here’s the video for Justice’s “DVNO”, a really nice motion graphic using popular titles and putting their own spin on it.

Watch this to see the title designs that the video was inspired from.

A very simple trick, involving depth perception and a lot of time. Also be sure to check out The Illusion of Peace if this kind of stuff interests you.

An amusing one-shot advertisement for Old Spice. Hilarity aside it does have some pretty smooth transitions between scenes.

The guy who made this, Tim Smit, a Dutch physics student, released this short movie called “What’s in the Box?”, which is a POV, Cloverfield-inspired short. The motion tracking is really impressive and I and I like the HUD designs, but the story doesn’t really seem that impressive to me and the atmosphere of the effects and environment seem to clash (that’s what you get for shooting in your Dutch hometown). The amazing thing is this though:

It seems like some Hollywood studios called him up asking how he had done the video and were amazed at that. I’m not really sure if he got job offers. Even though this is not likely to happen to most of us, even if we made cool shit, it seems that it does and can happen if you’re able to generate some good hype around it.

Cool concept in this video, not really sure whether the silhouettes are done in post or not. Music video done by Babanuki.

so amazing how much effort they put in their work
