I got inspired for this effect from Paul Clements' awesome "Headphones Breakdown" video.

Ericsson CES 2012 Keynote Film

At this year's International CES (Consumer Electronics Show), which took place in Las Vegas, Ericsson's CEO Hans Vestberg delivered a keynote addressing the future of "The Networked Society".
London based Global Brand Experience Agency, Jack Morton, contacted Onesize for creating a 2+ minute brand film for Ericsson, which in a nutshell explains where Ericsson is coming from and where it's going.
The film opens Hans' Keynote by introducing Ericsson's "Networked Society" to the audience.
A fully CG, animated film is the result, scored and sound designed by Echolab.

"Ghost in the Shell": Hong Kong

***1080p enabled***

Watch this first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYVbQ-GQTxQ

I first watched Manga's cult classic "Ghost in the Shell" when I was a teen but only recently realised that the film's city background is actually based on Hong Kong - my current place of residence.

When it was made in 1995, it depicted a grimy, futuristic city. Now, 16 years later, it's interesting to see how Hong Kong has physically changed. So I set out to try and recreate particular scenes from the film. The biggest differences between the film and now is that Hong Kong no longer has those awesome low-flying airplanes (airport moved in 1998) nor do we have canals and river boats - though we do have tramcar systems which is the obvious influence for Masamune. Not every shot could be faithfully recreated. Simply because it was an animation! But when you do a comparison there are the obvious locations: http://vimeo.com/33731256

I left the scenes with Motoko Kusanagi for narrative reasons (and I couldn't be arsed looking for an actress!). Another note is the first two shots of the planes, they were ripped and up-rezzed from a YouTube video by airboyd. There is no way I could have recreated those scenes yet I wanted to show people just how crazily low they flew.

This was shot with Sony NEX5-N in 1080p/50fps with 30mm squarefront and 50mm roundfront Lomo anamorphic lenses.

Special thanks to Pete Furkidsinhk and his "fur kid" Cream.

Tutorial 9 | Blow and Pop

In this tutorial, we imitate some promos for MBC2 that was originally created by a motion graphic artist named Alexander Grinke. This promo had a letter inflate then explode like a balloon. To do this, we will use a combination of rigid body dynamics, soft body dynamics, cloth and tear simulations to replicate the effect. It's actually quite simple and a lot of fun to do. Please check it out and view the end of this tutorial to see how the final product came out. Also, please remember that this was built in R12, so prior versions of C4D cannot read the starter or finished files. Enjoy

MTV "Close and Caring"

Furry monsters cuddling, welcoming the viewer to a brand new series of MTV idents from 1 July 2011 – motion design studio Sehsucht of Berlin/Germany has created and animated „Close & Caring“, one of six new MTV idents (duration: 20 sec.). „Close & Caring“ conveys a look and feel that equals the warmth and feeling of a hug, as simple as holding hands or sinking under your duvet. Sehsucht created the cute little beasts, developed the story concept, built the vignettes, covered the overall production and post-production (editing, retouching, color-correction, special effects), and created the print templates.

Tribute to Rene / flipEvil

Project: Tribute to Rene
Client: flipEvil
Music and Sound Design: Box of Toys Audio

Background:
We joined forces with our friend flipEvil (http://flipevil.com) to create this composition in tribute to the Belgian surrealist artist, Rene Magritte.

Approach:
Given the context we wanted to take a very traditional and unadorned route, and so composed a bespoke piano piece in and around the motion. The piano leads the way in terms of pace and characterization, backed by subtle sound design that reinforces the dream-like state of the visuals.

Playful Type

A short motion piece where typography meets translucent, colourful, synthetic sex toy aesthetics.

Music : Machinedrum 'make me'

Arlequin

Directed by Hugo Arcier. September 2007

-------------------------------------------------------
Project executed within the framework of a collective exhibit organized by Cecile Briand and Isabelle Mayaud.
“The a-bit-to-much-perfect characters seem to set apart from their idyllic background in order to materialize, embody their selves.
Volumes outline their shape, they settle down. A moment.

…

But the scenes, skins, clothes, are just a dented relief, where embossed folds of a very used book travel.

Pretend-to-be bodies are nothing but unreal, nothing but dead.
Unable to exist anywhere else than in the hollow of the pages of a wrinkled book, they collapse after a long fall, until they lose themselves, and disappear in the plump and passive bounce of their papier-mâché flesh.

Only sad body parts and décor pieces remain."

Sarah Zhiri

-------------------------------------------------------

Projet réalisé dans le cadre d’une expo collective organisée par Cécile Briand et Isabelle Mayaud.
"Les personnages un peu trop impeccables semblent se détacher de leur fond idyllique pour se matérialiser, s'incarner.
Les volumes se dessinent, ils prennent corps. Un instant.

...

Mais le décor, les peaux, les vêtements, ne sont qu'un relief accidenté, parcouru des pliures crevassées d'un livre trop manipulé.

Les corps de façade ne sont rien de réel, rien de vivant.
Incapables d'exister ailleurs qu'au creux des pages d'un livre froissé, ils s'affaissent après une chute vertigineuse, jusqu'à se perdre, se désintégrer dans le rebond dodu et passif de leurs chairs de papier mâché.

Ne restent que de tristes lambeaux de corps et de décor."

Sarah Zhiri

Based on Iris van der Eijken's artwork. After the well-recieved leader of last year, I was asked to create one for this year. Again based on the festival poster it is somewhat similar in approach as last year's, but different. My aim was to make the flat image 3D, really making use of all the layers of the psd-file.

Meet Buck

Website : http://salesmanbuck.com
Our friends's short : http://vimeo.com/15126262
------------------------------------------------------

Buck is an ordinary guy. Well, if you accept the "deer head" thing.
Today, Buck is going to spend the afternoon with his girlfriend who's so happy to see him (she's pretty much happy always). But when Buck finds out that her father is not the tolerant and sympathetic guy he expected, the Sunday afternoon turns really bad. Really bad. Like baaaaaaad bad.


Buck est un jeune ordinaire. Enfin...si on exclut sa tête de cerf.
Et aujourd'hui, Buck compte bien passer son Dimanche après-midi avec sa petite-amie qui est super contente de le voir, comme toujours. Mais quand Buck découvre que son futur beau-papa n'est pas si sympathique et tolérant que sa fille, l'après-midi va tourner au drame.

Something Out Of Nothing

The purpose of this video is to create an emotional response out of the most basic and bare elements. A badly exposed picture (that London weather is tricky to photograph) and a handful of loops.

The original picture is treated originally in Photoshop and then sent to cinema to create the actual animation.
AfterEffects is used to add all the effects like depth of field, snow, text treatment, some camera movements and finally colour grading.
GarageBand was used to sync the video to a series of loops.

Hope you like it!

Showreel 2008 HD

My showreel was completed at the end of 2008. I've recieved a lot of really nice feedback from people since posting this on Vimeo.

I was offered a job at Pixar at the end of last year and started in februrary, woohoo! :D

Music is by Penguin Cafe Orchestra and is called Perpetuum Mobile.

A really big thank you to everyone who has commented on my showreel or taken the time to view it, I really appreciate it. :D

Locus

“Locus” is an short experimental animated film that reflects the way that I see things. I have always perceived the world not as a photographic reality, but rather as lines that outline physical shapes. Because of this, as a designer, I am fascinated with how a single simple element like a line can express so many different things, and how collections of lines can create shapes, forms and beautiful motions. Locus shows moments of motion that convey this vision.

From concept to finish, created by Masaki Yokochi.
Production Tools: my favorite C4D+AE : )

Strange Arrangements

synopsis

We wanted to make a series of moving sculptures that take inspiration from the great surrealists like dali and in particular his lobster telephone. We have tried to build intriguing objects that leave you wanting to see more. These objects are mechanical but at the same time organic in their movements. They are a collection of textures, objects and movements that create images that we wanted to see.
