Dvein has produced this cool title sequence for the F5 festival conference.

Dvein’s creative approach:

“When we were invited to make the F5 titles, we wanted them match the eclectic spirit of the conference. The idea was to get the soul of the speakers into the titles in some way.

“We asked each speaker to name five objects that inspire them or has something to do with their work. We received all kinds of answers—really interesting objects that gave us a great starting point: wind turbines, microscopes, lights, smoke, lamb rib cage, French bulldog…

“The speakers didn’t know what their answers would be used for, but they were the seed for our story. In this way, all the speakers added their bit. There is not a unique authorship but rather a multiple collaboration.”

A cool little project from Aaron Meyers.

It maps out youtube videos on a 3D cube and lets users drag it around to hear the sounds of the video fade in and out. Check it out here.

A wonderful stop motion composition of 3000 images. Reminds me of the Toyko one I posted up a while ago

Been discovering some really good creative around the theme of water and fluids recently:

Shinichi Maruyama’s work is just amazing…

“He hurls black India ink into water (or visa versa) and photographs the millisecond that these two liquids collide. Capable of capturing this phenomenon at a 7,500th of a second, Maruyama takes full advantage of a recent advancement in strobe light technology which can record physical events faster than the naked eye can perceive them. In the series Kusho, which means “writing in the sky,” Maruyama’s goal is to arrest in space and time the sublime intersection of two different media before they merge into one. In some respects, the project resembles a scientific experiment, but in Maruyama’s artistic hands, the total action becomes a form of Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) performance–with the gesture executed in the air rather than on the flat surface of the paper.”

Some limited edition Evian bottles designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, to highlight Evian’s best qualities: Bubbles bottle, Drops bottle, Tray bottle, Reflection bottle and Spring bottle. These precious designs will be presented at Maison Baccarat March until 30th before being auctionned next April 7th at 8pm at Artcurial, to raise money for the RAMSAR convention, which Evian supports for more than 10 years.

The other is a motion graphics piece by Dept. of Motion Graphics and FusionCI Studios, create great fluidity TV spot for Whole Brand Water.
