Minivegas’ Twitter Visualizer for F5

Minivegas has taken many forms throughout their existence. Live-action, animation and VFX-driven work was their strength for years. However, they have recently been putting a lot of their creative energy in developing new technologies in the site-specific, interactive space.

Although F5 was almost six months ago, we felt this project definitely deserved some sharing. For F5, they created an interactive installation that visualized images and text from the F5 twitter feed and converted them into abstract shapes. They also made a sound-responsive version that played during the Tanya Morgan performance.

It’s an exciting time to continue to see traditional directors moving into these new spaces. People like Radical Friend, Champagne Valentine and LEGS (just to name a few) have showed an ability to seamlessly transition into this experiential type work as their studio-based predecessors like Imaginary Forces, Digital Kitchen, etc.

that go and Brite Futures: “Too Young to Kill”


That go and Brite Futures’ “Too Young to Kill,” a music video sure to make you look more than twice. The number of scene/wardrobe/makeup changes would make any assistant director cringe!

There are certain moments where the video begins to feel repetitive, but that’s the trick that director Noel Paul used. Just as you begin feel a loop similar to three frames, he adds a twist at the end of each shot. The match cuts are a simple, nice touch that makes this music video interesting from beginning to end.
