Foals - My Number
Foals - My Number from Us on Vimeo.
It's been a while since I posted anything on the blog, no excuses, just life and pure laziness, but after sitting through the latest Foals video I had no choice but to post. This video needs to be seen. Every passing second your appreciation for concept and the excution grows. The Us team slaved away for '3 long months' making the video for 'My Number'. A Q&A with the team talking about the process can be found here.
Cyraik - Eskmo 'We Got More'
Eskmo recently released the video 'We Got More' in January 2011. It was created by Cyriak, an animator based in Brighton. It's a great example of a music video made on a budget which manages to keep you interested and intrigued for the duration. The video leaves you hypnotised watching the repetitive movement of the city and it's citizens which is perfectly suited to the music track. The video, as explained on his site, was made using 'a short piece of video footage I had lying around.' Brilliant.
Hats off to... JR.Canest
As I have just started this site there is going to be a little bit of back tracking as I will post links to my favourite video's I seen over the past few months.
The title sequence 'Crazy Enough' created by JR.Canest is one that has stuck in my mind every since viewing it 4-5 months ago.
It's a simple concept, brilliantly executed, the sequence flows as if he was orchestrating the keyframes with a baton. Those of us who are used to working with After Effects can appreciate his masterful control of them. Hats off to you JR!
