Screen Grab from the Video

This is the result of TAT’s Open Innovation experiment. It is an experience video showing the future of screen technology with stretchable screens, transparent screens and e-ink displays, to name a few.

Well actually I would expect more. For instance the Keyboard and Mouse sure look redundant with a display and touch sensitive table surface. And a few other things here and there. Interface shown for Mobile to Mobile sharing is really great, hope speeds and technology catches up with such things faster. I am not a fan of straight edged black screens, but I guess it’s just the idea that counts at this stage.

Found this video while hunting for Nursery Rhymes for kids on Youtube to entertain a toddler. Barefootbooks was created by two moms and their books and videos do pack a punch.

6 minutes + 2 years + 2 people + 1.2 TB of data + 800,000 files = Worth it.
Absolutely priceless animation.

Well the video is self explanatory. And no one can deny that we have all at some point of time or other have wanted to have something like this.

Its a long, almost black and white, painting in motion. And there are others as well in the creator’s playlist on Vimeo

Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar

That’s just an image, embed is disabled for this video

One of my favorite videos of all time by one of my favorite bands of all time. A perfect video which best describes the rhythm that we intend to connect to while traveling by a train, bus or car. Almost everything outside the window has a rhythm to it, and this probably is it’s best depiction.

That apart, the visual effects part of it is amazing as well. Layers and layers of elements in matched perspective with parallax created and put together to the beat of the music. Each 3D element representing an instrument. Simply beautiful.

Have to do this sometime. I like the way no one every jumps the light or changes to opposite lanes in the video, having this done in India would be completely chaotic and would definitely show the difference.

Saw it first posted on Twitter as a link.

Loved the idea of rogue Pixels that revolt and destroy or take over the city / world. More than that it reminded me of Pacman, so much so, that I downloaded a free version today and have been trying to get re-addicted ever since. Looking for a version or Tetris as well.

Excellent video, not in terms of just animation, which is fairly good but also the idea itself. I would have benefitted a lot in my school days if chemistry was this fun. Instead we had boring Ping Pong Ball models stuck with wooden matchsticks.

The Animator should probably take it up as a project with the millions of E-Learning companies that are spawning these days but are no good at EduTainment, instead putting the same old boring books in digital format.

Although the Video describes housing complexes built in the Soviet Era of Berlin, it is still apt for housing complexes being built today in Bangalore, India. With the rapid growth and sky rocketing real estate prices, Tetris is probably the best way to describe this game.

Not easy to find samples and help to work on Blender. And somehow I landed on this one. Probably the most unique concept I have come across in the last 10 years, a pursuit of sorts depicted solely by the coverage of area of two characters. The animator has actually managed to show spaces, alleys, trees, roads and even complete devastation left in their path.

Those of you in Design related education, this is a must for Space Form and Structure

There was a time back during 2001 – 2004 we were all bitten by the short film bug, tried many and eventually landed up making not so short complicated ideas which did not hold ground. This is exactly Opposite of that.

Once in a while I come across some animation work which makes me pick up the drawing board. This was it. Today I am going to start actual production of two such projects that have been gyrating in my brain for the last few months.

Will post it right here when they are done, making will be online as well.

Probably the most simplest and best way this boring history has been illustrated, and that too in a manner which makes it actually interesting to a lay man.

Another sunday morning discovery. The style is extremely nice, Flipbook style with a little bit of “Pen Story” happening in it as well.

This is definitely a very fresh and modern look at “Little Red Riding Hood”. Not to mention, thought blurbs like the “nutrition facts” what the Wolf gets is funny. Must Watch.

Probably one of the best miniature style real like shooting I have seen. For all those around me who are trying to do the same.
