Hybrid Forms: New Growth by Andy Lomas


This is a variation of Hybrid Forms, using the same simulation data as in my previous video (http://ift.tt/1KOHHSi) but showing regions of active cell growth instead of the internal structures. As cells are born they are highlighted in blue, which gradually fades as each cell ages. Complex patterns emerge in waves across the surface, with adjacent cells tending to accumulate enough food to split at approximately the same time so tending to be roughly synchronized in the times when new cells are born.

I would like to thank Max Cooper for permission to use ‚Teotihuacan Part 2‘ for the accompanying music.

Greenland’s Ice Sheet From 40,000 Feet

Greenland’s Ice Sheet From 40,000 Feet The Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) field campaign team is flying NASA’s G-III aircraft at about 40,000 feet. On a clear day, this altitude also provides a stunning perspective of one of the world’s two great ice sheets (the other is Antarctica). The flight Saturday, March 26, over the northeast coastline was one of those clear days. via NASA http://ift.tt/1RF6bE2

Charles X – Can You Do it by Parallel


Music video directed for the charismatic LA-born musician Charles X for his eagerly anticipated new single entitled Can You Do It in mixed 3D/2D animation produced by Eddy and animated at Brunch Studio.

This collaboration is intended to act as a social commentary which aims to cast light on perceived societal expectations and social norms by integrating elements and people from different walks of life.

I sought to merge the typically highbrow sport of horse racing with the commonly misrepresented “mean streets” of Pacoima, the proud birthplace of Charles X, to challenge any stereotypes or preconceptions of race and social class which may exist in modern day society.

I wanted to communicate Charles’ intended message via the lens of an artificial world in my own style of animation.

„Can You Do It“ is now available on Charles X’s new album, „Sounds of the Yesteryear“:

Herbie and Nathan Fletcher: Peninsula South by Nixon


Nixon brings together larger-than-life surf legends Herbie and Nathan Fletcher for a road trip down memory lane in a new short film entitled Peninsula South, where the father and son team head down to Baja and revisit some old haunts from previous adventures. Director Riley Blakeway captures Herbie’s pioneering spirit and the close-knit relationship he has built with his son Nathan as they set out on an expedition they’ve not made together in over twenty years, reignites both their love for Baja and their deep appreciation for one another. By the late 60s, Herbie had already begun exploring Baja in search of un-crowded lineups and adventure. As his life moved forward, he built a family who share his love of travel, and who have joined him countless times to explore the fickle southern peninsula. On this latest mission, Nathan discusses his father’s contagious, childlike enthusiasm for surfing and life, and shares how he hopes to pass those ideals down to the next Fletcher generation.

In Japan – 2015 by Vincent Urban


This film is a collection of audiovisual moments and memories of a 3-week railway journey through Japan in 2015. We were whizzing through the country with the Shinkansen visiting Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima and Kyoto as well as lots of wonderful little places along the way, meeting the most friendly people and experiencing a culture that somehow balances its rich tradition with a very futuristic present.

Thorsten Brinkmann: The Great Cape Rinderhorn by Walley Films


This short documentary follows German artist Thorsten Brinkmann as he creates his site-specific installation, The Great Cape Rinderhorn, at Rice University Art Gallery. Working primarily from objects found in Houston, Brinkmann turns Rice Gallery into a place where the familiar is made strange as castaway goods are reimagined through Brinkmann’s idiosyncratic sensibility that combines assemblage sculptures with his self-portrait and still life photography. On view at Rice Gallery February 4 – May 15, 2016. Commissioned by http://ift.tt/JDuGyE. Original score by Mark Walley. Learn more about the artist at http://ift.tt/1UfOjU0.

Hadrian / Bronze Casting Using The Lost-Wax Technique by Renana Aldor & Kobi Vogman


A short animation made for the „Hadrian“ Exhibition in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, December 2015.

The film shows the bronze casting process in an artistic yet simple method, a combination of stop motion and 2D animation.
The preparation process included a research and a constant dialogue with the curator and the restoration department of the museum as well as a visit in a bronze casting workshop. The head used in the film was a plaster replica of the original Hadrian’s bronze statue found in Tel-Shalem, Israel, 117-138 CE.
