IRC Dance Movement

People send me links to post on the blog all the time.  Most of them are just not very impressive.  This particular piece isn't necessarily CG driven, but I enjoyed watching it from a purely visual standpoint.  It has a nice mix of cinematic choices, deign and editing.

Dr. Martens 50 - The Cinematic Orchestra cover Lilac Wine



Really beautiful work...

Dr. Martens is celebrating their 50th anniversary, and Blind was invited to join the party. Dr. Martens asked 10 artists to record their version of a cult classic track that represents the spirit of the people who’ve worn DM’s over the past 50 years. One of the songs selected was Cinematic Orchestra’s rendition of the classic, “Lilac Wine,” made popular in the early 90s by Jeff Buckley.  Blind was asked to direct the video, which would not include talent, but was given no other creative parameters.
Inspired by Spencerian Calligraphy, Vanessa directed a piece of moving visual poetry comprised of delicate lines. The lines extend and intertwine to form a variety of unique landscapes,populated by various incarnations of the lost lover of the song, including a bird, a fish, a butterfly and a horse.

Apps for Animators


Auditorium is the closest to my favorite game when I was a kid. Okay, anyone who knows me well knows I don't play video games and I am going to severely date myself...but, I loved the game Tempest at the arcade. This game is pretty like tempest AND you guide the flow of particles to make music. Lot's of fun and kind of hard!





I am not entirely sure I know how to play this game, but it keeps my friend's kids entertained for hours and is really cute.





Every animator out there breathing has heard of Simon's Cat, but have you see the nerw application for the iphone? You mak music with meows!!!

What are your favorite apps?


Box Animation

I love this little short. I never went to animation school. I started out as a graphic design major before computers were even on the scene and you drew all of your type by hand. Then, I moved to a fine art school and got into drawing as a major. Finally, I evolved my interests into an "electronic arts" major whens my little art school got some machines.

So, I have been exploring more design oriented and motion graphics stuff lately and really liking how CG, VFX and design are influencing each other.
