Just a Quick Startoff

March 12, 2009

So it’s been quite a while (almost a year) since I’ve delve into the world of motion graphics. I was just on motionographer and I found this:

GSG Cast: Intro to After Effects from Nick Campbell on Vimeo.

A basic intro to After Effects for those who need it, or for those who need a recap. It’s practically everything that was just covered in class—all in one video.

On another quick note, I’ve been meaning to post some videos that have recently caught my eye.

Oren Lavie’s Her Morning Elegance

It’s another stop-motion video and a beautiful one. The idea is simple but extremely clever. The execution is flawless. For more information about how it was made, go to his myspace. And if you haven’t seen it already, be warned because it’s a highly addictive video (and song) and it will make you smile :) .

Tetley Red Tea Commercial

Although you might have seen it over and over again, I like this commercial for its visuals and music and it was developed at an agency right here in Toronto.
