Dystopian Chinese scroll paintings

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Graphic designer Sean Tang created some amazing posters for advertising agency JWT Shanghai, which put out a a series of ads for the China Environment Protect Foundation. At this size they look like the typical moody beauty of traditional Chinese scroll paintings. Click on them to view a large version and see the detail of electrical towers, skyscrapers, and automobiles wrecking Mother Nature. Great work.

Also check out the animated version below, which played in the People Square Subway Station.

WTH? Heaven and Hell in HD

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

It’s not often when I click “Play” on any online video that I say “What the Hell?” in amazement. In this case, it was because of Marco Brambilla’s gorgeous media installation, Civilization, in the elevator of the Standard Hotel in New York.

Composed of 500 looped HD stock, movie, and original video clips this piece is absolutely astounding. I can only imagine what it’s like to be in the elevator as you ascend or descend through heaven and hell (Yes, the video matches your ride in the elevator.

For your own “WTH?” moment and details on its production continue on.

“It’s Amazing” flip book style video

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

In an attempt to keep things upbeat in this often downbeat state of current affairs, I submit to you the “It’s Amazing” video by Jem. Made from 25,632 photos, this video takes advantage of depth of field and the “flip book look” of a high quality digital camera (and large memory card). (I’m assuming this is a digital camera because using film would be just mad.) Get your groove on.

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

So I’ve been debating whether to keep this blog just as an online portfolio or to post other folks’ inspiring work. Well, I guess this video made up my mind for me.

Check out this video for Obama featuring music by up-and-coming rapper MC Yogi and some great vector art and typography.
