April 24, 2012 Ben & Julia (meet them here) have been busy so now you can feast your eyes on the contradictorily named pieces Nothing To Celebrate vs la Fête de l’Anim in Lille. Oh, right, and also the third one, last but not least Yo Gabba Gabba feat Biz Markie. Enjoy. Comments April 23, 2012

Barcelona-based multimedia and design studio Tigrelab created an array of immersive visuals for Com Va la Vida: a recent video mapping project on TV3. Making-of here.
A perfect Monday morning treat. Scott Benson reminds us, Everything Starts Small.
New reel from Phil Borst, designer/animator of Kyndill.
Hush Studios delivers again with a beautiful piece for Marsh. A gorgeously minimal design paired with great animation make this a real treat.
Director Jodi Terwilliger had this to say about about the creative process:
The client initially asked us for a visual exploration of what IGNITE meant (an acronym for their internal leadership goals). We ended up turning it into an epic story based, surprisingly enough, on the Odyssey.
Visually, it started out much more flat and graphic. I wanted to keep it simple so we could execute above and beyond. What I discovered was that Salih and Justin were banging out amazing test animations almost immediately, which empowered me to start giving the design and the character a lot more depth. It’s really a testament to their skill and their dedication to the project.
Salih and Justin are two of my favorite animators in New York, and they did their usual fantastic work here. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next in 2012 from Hush.
Electric Theatre Collective launched.
After we were initially sent Henrique Barone’s stellar short, This Idea Is Not Working, our jaws hit floor. We immediately wanted to share it with our Motionographer readers, so got the engine warmed up and put things in motion. Then, something happened: we found out it’s a student piece. Jeepers! We scratched our head and weighed the options. Of course, we do have our Students section and although you can find it there, we were so impressed by Barone’s animation skills that we had no choice but to give it some love in our Main section. One thing we never want Motionographer to become is a place where only big-studios reign supreme and the little guy (you, me, us, etc) has no shot to shine. And not to gush, but it’s rare to find animation so inventive, polished and well-timed—let alone, a student piece. Did we mention that it’s hand-drawn?
After you watch This Idea Is Not Working, be sure to check out a wonderful step-by-step breakdown that the artist put together here.
