Amazing piece of work by Daniel Franke apart of the  http://wearechopchop.com/ community of designers, motiongraphers, video / media artists working out of Berlin.

Love the nature of the video with the hand-held movement and organic lines and shapes forming and growing at the centre. Reminds me a little of the way BSG was shot with the rough style handling of the shoot and the way the 3D animation / universe played in that space.

I know that it has been a couple of weeks now that the new ANZ logo was launched, but seriously what on earth were they smoking when they came up with this concept.

I’m guessing that it may be trying to represent people somehow in an abstract way, but to me it kind of looks like a birth canal. That probably says more about me than anything else but to go from what i believe to a strong existing identity to something that looks like it belongs in a sex education class seems more like a backwards step than a progressive movement, not to mention the cost of integration throughout the company which will cost to the sum of $15 million according to the news.com.au story linked.

Judging from some of the comments on the page and around the twitterverse, it hasn’t come off to a good start as yet. Maybe it will grow on people like some vaginal infection (I know, kind of crude but can’t get past that it still looks like a birth canal with the 2 legs in stirrups on either side)

Type experiment for today:

Amazing processing work by Glenn Marshall. Here’s a short description by glen on this work:

“Metamorphosis is programmed entirely in Processing, it’s the follow up to my Music is Math video. I developed my ‘zeno’ animation system a bit more to allow for nebulous additive blending as well as a few other things. The music is by Boards of Canada again – the track ‘Corsair’ from the Geogaddi album. Further info on this video at butterfly.ie “

Not sure what to say about this apart from nice illustrati0ns
