Onesize for Warde: “Home Is A Quest” (Director’s Cut)

Onesize branches into character work with this very nice – and very inventive – piece for Warde. Personal favorite: momma bird. There is a lot to like in this Director’s Cut, but one thing I particularly notice after a couple of watches: the well handled character animation is a real foundation in supporting the larger world concept.

Be sure to check out the making of as well:

Beakus Studios + Daniel Chester/Moth: The Epistle

Seems only natural that Moth Collective would follow up the fantastic Mad Dogs and Englishmen by working with Beakus Studios on this section from the feature film A Liar’s Autobiography: The Untrue Story of Monty Python’s Graham Chapman. Directed by Moth member Daniel Chester, the results are awesome.

And yes: very funny, very NSFW.

Mischa Rozema’s Stardust

Stardust is PostPanic director Mischa Rozema’s haunting love letter to loss, exploration, and Voyager 1. When I was a kid, I thought that Voyager’s golden record – which makes a cameo here – was simply incredible. I still do.

Fleur & Manu for M83

Fleur & Manu complete their trilogy for M83 with this spectacular mystic masterpiece. And to recap – here are the previous two:

JBL “Ear of the Tornado” by Psyop

“Ear of the Tornado” has the fantastic quality we look forward to from Psyop – but it’s also an object lesson in how to nail the one shot approach. In lesser hands, this could easily have turned into a 45 second slog, but here, the pacing is incredible.

Bonus points – the airborne string of lights that we start to really see around the 26 second mark.

Extra bonus points – a behind the scenes:

Daito Manabe for Nosaj Thing

Interesting – and beautiful – music video for Nosaj Thing by Daito Manabe. Manabe employed a Point Grey camera to track the dancers – all graphics were projected in real time over the live performance. For more information on the piece, check out The Creators Project’s interview with Manabe.

“Interaction De-Formes” by Carlín Díaz

Great abstract piece by Carlín Díaz. Full of sly moments that experiment with form, color, and perspective.

“Hinode” by Tetsuka Niiyama

A fantastic, meditative piece by Tetsuka Niiyama. Love the conceptual approach of mixing the mineral with the organic.

Hornet & Blinkink for Toyota

Directors Sumo Science, Yves Geleyn, Gabe Askew, and Major Briggs bring four very different – but equally cool – perspectives to the “Stories of Better” campaign produced with Saatchi & Saatchi for the 2012 Paris Motor Show.

And – a special bonus – a behind the scenes from Yves Geleyn.
