Logorama from Marc Altshuler – Human Music on Vimeo.

This is a short film that was directed by the French animation collective H5, François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy + Ludovic Houplain. It was presented at the Cannes Film Festival 2009. It opened the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and won a 2010 academy award under the category of animated short.

This video is certainly making the rounds at the moment, but for good reason. How can you beat an 8 bit destruction of NYC?

AntiVJ : NUITS SONORES from AntiVJ / Joanie on Vimeo.

International visual label AntiVJ (Bristol – Paris – Bruxelles) create monumental projections in public spaces, combining powerful video projectors with digital mapping techniques and holographic illusions. Stepping away from conventional techniques, the artist’s offer an alternative perspective on social spaces and cultural communication.

Seriously impressed by their work and they’ve partnered with some excellent artists, Murcof being one of my favourite electronica producers. Their site is http://antivj.com. Their Vimeo channel http://vimeo.com/antivj. Please go and check them out.

More superb interactive video execution from Kokokaka for Wrangler. The links such as Blue Bell on the left nav open other brilliant Wrangler sites, all by Kokokaka.

Can’t begin to imagine the amount of work put into this unbelievable frame by frame animated graffiti piece by BLU.

Very impressive video footage shot so that it looks like tiny toy soldiers. The technique used is called tilt shift, more examples can be found here..

Interesting and informative presentation by Annie Leonard on “Stuff“. Where it comes from, where it goes to, why our current system is flawed.

There were some bits in this that I found pretty shocking. Brilliantly animated too..
