Comments February 20, 2012 Incredible series of idents designed by Frans Schupp in 1982 for Dutch public broadcaster VARA. Schupp’s intern Robin Noorda (now an independent animator) recently restored the series – the master tape had been lost and the only remaining copy was badly degraded. Thank you to Liselotte Doeswijk for the tip!
To Do List is a sleek personal project from Yaniv Fridman and Daniel Luna. Sound design by WhiteNoiseLab.

“The Holy Chicken of Life & Music”, a short film by NOMINT recently won the Community Choice Award in the Experimental Category of the Vimeo Awards.
Building on the tradition of Classic Greek literature, NOMINT takes us on a surreal journey that is both comedic and tragic. Their unique characters, architectural design, and compelling audio challenge the viewer to step outside the boundaries of conventional Motion Graphics. We meet a larger than life beast invested with the powers of Life and Music, yet subject to the whims of scientists and audiences that seem tiny in relation to the Holy Chicken. This piece explores the fine line between worship and exploitation through humor, surprise, and irony.
Creative Director Yannis Konstantinidis shares about the process after the jump.
