SSSEEN!

Amazing 3D animation by Patrick Jean. A interesting adaptation of old school subject matter.

Very neat piece of animation made by Renaud Hallée, focusing on music composition and visual sync.

Very cute stop motion commercial made by TBWA Brussel for an energy company. Looks like a comfy home!

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!

One of the most beautiful things I have ever watched, this impressive display of skill won her first place in “Ukraine Got Talent 2009″. It always intrigues me when I see someone go outside the norm and perform otherwise mundane things in such an extravagant manner.

Michel Gagne and Joe Olson, CEO of Fuelcell Games, met in 2007 in Seattle’s Fremont district where they discussed the possibility of bringing feature quality 2d animation to the gaming world in a classic side-scrolling adventure. Shortly after, a production team was assembled and Fuelcell Games was born. Their mission: bring the vision of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet to life.

Mathieu Labaye’s short-movie, Camera etc (Belgium, Liège): http://www.camera-etc.be
Great tribute to his father Benoît Labaye, suffered from a multiple sclerosis at 29 years old. Benoît Labaye had been confined to a wheelchair since age 40 and died at 55 years old the 04.22.2006, as a result of a pneumonia.

The first 4 minutes could seem a little long to watch but they are important to understand the mind of the director. The second part is amazing and contains a very strong message which is “sublimated” thanks to the first part.

Upgrade + Mobilize is our latest short film / experimental branding piece. It’s a legendary story about good and evil, told through the synthesis of raw creative energy and inspired sound design. U+M employs a range of techniques, styles and disciplines that made the process of creating the piece both challenging and rewarding. A massive, sincere thanks to our whole team for pouring their hearts into this project, and a special thanks to Plaid for adding their musical genius into the mix.

“I’m Here” is a robot love story celebrating a life enriched by creativity. The movie is set in contemporary L.A., where life moves at a seemingly regular pace with the exception of a certain amount of robot residents who love among the population. A male robot librarian lives a solitary and methodical life — devoid of creativity, joy and passion – until he meets an adventurous and free spirited female robot. The film stars British actor Andrew Garfield (Boy A, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Social Network) and Sienna Guillory, one of Maxims 100 sexiest women.
