Boom, our latest publication has finally landed! A work of art that explores the relationship between nature, motion and sound, The Interpretation takes us on a languid journey through a slowly flourishing forest. Hinting at vague memories of microbiology and rotating through a cool organic spectrum of greens, blues, browns, blacks and whites; this motion-based work will entrance its viewer as the forest evolves. The Interpretation is set to a minimal score filled with authentic sounds of nature, complimenting the environmental essence of the visuals. One of the movies on this DVD also features a soundtrack composed by various Ghostly Records musicians.
I have been meaning to link this up for a week and figure I just gotta do it fast or I will never do it. Bran from Grow organizes this motion collaboration called PSST and it is amazing. You should check it out and you will be glad you did.
Last night I was reading about 1950′s animation in Cartoon Modern and it mentioned some of the amazing modern animators coming out of Europe that were vastly different than the standard 19th century “Disney” style that was so prevalent in the US. One such animator was Ivan Ivanov-Vano whom collaborated with the likes of Shostakovich and Stravinsky. Take a moment today to watch Seasons by Ivan Ivanov-Vano , while it wasn’t produced in the 50′s and it isn’t the exact video I was looking for with the Shostakovich score, it’s still absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy!
On April 16-17th the F5 event is going on in NYC. F5 will feature so many amazing talents, it is hard to count them all. The conference is an extension of the motion blog, Motionographer, so it will be more focused on moving images. We highly recommend it!
Caught this video last night, pretty nice idea going on here visually. It gets good around the 2 minute point..
We just finished a short film/edit using various clips from our stock motion collections titled Moire. Composed of patterns and hypnotic illusions, Moire may result in acid flashbacks from your teenage childhood or slight migraines when given to much concentration. Available in HD.

We just launched new collections of Smoke themed stock images aimed to serve for a great variety of design projects. Stock images work great for many still/image based mediums, but they can also be used in motion graphic projects as well. Check our example video link above to see a small example of how you can mix and match with the images in After Effects to create your own custom animations.
