A Look At Art with Stephen Fry

/
In an increasingly infantilised world where so much seems to be split into good or bad, correct or incorrect, acceptable or unacceptable, where complex ideas are chopped up for public consumption like food chopped up for a child, where so much is hygienic, attainable, safe, sugared, assimilable, digestible, pasteurised, homogenised and sanitised, in such a world our appetite has never been greater for the complex, the ambiguous, the challenging, the untamed, the sharp, the peculiar, the surprising, the dangerous, the dirty, the difficult, the untameable, the elusive, the unsafe and the unknowable. In other words, for art.

Typography Explained

This s a College project . Well, this is my first time using After Effects, i learnt a lot of AE basics, such cameras, null objects, depth, basic effects, and some plug-ins. The project brief told us to do a kinetic typographical motion graphic. We should use the type expressions, audio sync-ing, type treatments to visualize the meaning of typography. The sound & narration is taken from BOCAMOTION.

Heartless: The Story of the Tin Man

/

New points of view on beloved stories are always hard to pull off. They can enhance what we love or completely reframe and change the story in ways we do not like (Star Wars comes to mind.) This short film is a beautiful and clever production full of wit. And it does a wonderful job of complimenting The Wizard of Oz.
