The concept, the direction, the set design, the lighting, the sound design, music, post-production. Even still frames, as you'll see in my screen grabs, are like little perfectly composed pieces of art. In short, many people in my industry, myself included, will look at and wish they had done it.<br /><br />The inventive title sequence created by motion504 introduces each reception sponsor through a cinematic narrative that imagines the craft of “moving type” via mechanical gadgets that look as if they were built a century ago.<br /><br /><object height="298" width="530"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6856621&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=ff9933&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6856621&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=ff9933&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="298" width="530"></embed></object><br /><br />Led by Creative Directors Scott Wenner and Amy Schmitt, motion504 helmed the entire project, start to finish: concepting and storyboarding; direction of the live-action shoot; 2D & 3D animation; lighting and compositing.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEght4sTqyGcb-LI04e8vodfC6Zuc7yCMlsLGAhtmph3BTDJS0t1P9Qw39maygZ7Cg2eazSsUYwtFpvLR-qI31KPpNsPGgsT9uBoTUBHdjk0UwJVvzCFYR-DATe99a9Rwe2vOeHHwZPP5ReX/s1600-h/Picture+13.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411599395809513186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEght4sTqyGcb-LI04e8vodfC6Zuc7yCMlsLGAhtmph3BTDJS0t1P9Qw39maygZ7Cg2eazSsUYwtFpvLR-qI31KPpNsPGgsT9uBoTUBHdjk0UwJVvzCFYR-DATe99a9Rwe2vOeHHwZPP5ReX/s400/Picture+13.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 531px; height: 297px;" /></a><br /><br />Set in a world with a turn-of-the-last-century aesthetic, the visually striking sequence opens at the storefront of the fictional Verne Bros.

His undertakings are a mystery until, suddenly, peculiar kinetic gadgets appear and unexplainably come to life. His compelling conjurations abound in the dusty workshop, as each unique gadget unravels with science-defying wonder, creatively introducing the AICP reception sponsors, one by one.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZITcRZts2qjW-YFk0c81HmoGZUYfsYE0HtOI9IjpQ21s9c5j_cX4cj32NM9pYFdUW1oOkr7bTMZdg_cH2-6kCczOobfvtJgZe-hEaBeZaXLF1vgoBy2qYKXDPkkaDSew6ikdSAUsLxFyj/s1600-h/Picture+5.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411599519185769842" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZITcRZts2qjW-YFk0c81HmoGZUYfsYE0HtOI9IjpQ21s9c5j_cX4cj32NM9pYFdUW1oOkr7bTMZdg_cH2-6kCczOobfvtJgZe-hEaBeZaXLF1vgoBy2qYKXDPkkaDSew6ikdSAUsLxFyj/s400/Picture+5.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 297px;" /></a><br /><br />After brainstorming numerous ideas, motion504 eventually arrived at one that would speak to its intended audience and showcase what motion504 actually offers to the industry as company: motion design, animation and visual effects.<br /><br />The end product strikes at the core of motion504’s creative forte, while illustrating how design and animation can communicate in the realm of broadcast and commercial advertising -- through image-driven narrative.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9FGq0NvyZFXttEtBdvzI2oLFoLE8rLL4_EOEWrmi8V0QZ1Uhgl9z8hAvoTj4SYOYbhEW5Fp9QbgzCqgmQ_Ew7gtz35yyTRRjvFAtnjJS270nz6u2Fqh-QrOaM18Lue54ciiQ86FhSH7vV/s1600-h/Picture+17.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411600705320521266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9FGq0NvyZFXttEtBdvzI2oLFoLE8rLL4_EOEWrmi8V0QZ1Uhgl9z8hAvoTj4SYOYbhEW5Fp9QbgzCqgmQ_Ew7gtz35yyTRRjvFAtnjJS270nz6u2Fqh-QrOaM18Lue54ciiQ86FhSH7vV/s400/Picture+17.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 301px;" /></a><br /><br />Rather than building 3D models that transformed and unfolded, motion504 instead opted to create simple machines that look hand-made, yet function just beyond the realm of possibility, while retaining their outward purpose as kinetic type. The gadgets, along with production set and props, were designed with Victorian influences to evoke the work of an artisan.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1dOwSZelEgy4_INxFweqoWCsO-5pYj_tIz-A3DLlHF-C3DZSVzjFOxBW7CnUlVtWroLye29-Rce_qPP06beQ-2jVJtiKfX_jDvqYMSAnEfUZM2Oxfc6nUIVPhxlzMd6kY9-wa5SBUckwt/s1600-h/Picture+16.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411600621082253522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1dOwSZelEgy4_INxFweqoWCsO-5pYj_tIz-A3DLlHF-C3DZSVzjFOxBW7CnUlVtWroLye29-Rce_qPP06beQ-2jVJtiKfX_jDvqYMSAnEfUZM2Oxfc6nUIVPhxlzMd6kY9-wa5SBUckwt/s400/Picture+16.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 532px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><br />The studio arranged for a one-day live action shoot using the RED Camera. “Having a snorkel lens was crucial to get the close-ups that we needed to create the right feeling,” said motion504 Executive Producer Eric Mueller. “Our studio worked closely with the production team to ensure the gadgets would look like they belonged in the space. The end result is a visual tour-de-force. ”<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvQwrzmtO3eS9ZwvmIW-G0LWlQLzFeKL97VI5HopacqR1k7jnWuxCYtpA2ew9iYc78euPeIeo73BIcMv4PV5wbo5x9VHPTpMbRHvkuDSvcSZIYer0ffd28M-26BeYYtoVQNENJMIfAo4HA/s1600-h/Picture+6.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411599626185223906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvQwrzmtO3eS9ZwvmIW-G0LWlQLzFeKL97VI5HopacqR1k7jnWuxCYtpA2ew9iYc78euPeIeo73BIcMv4PV5wbo5x9VHPTpMbRHvkuDSvcSZIYer0ffd28M-26BeYYtoVQNENJMIfAo4HA/s400/Picture+6.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 296px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.bwnoise.com/">BWN</a> principal Carl White, who had the unique challenge of making the devices feel real, but still evoking a feeling of magic, handled sound design. “BWN did a fantastic job of figuring out how these gadgets would really sound if they existed,” said Mueller. “They are true sound artists.”<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8rA61d8kIQ3kN8HEL-WnLceFuTh6GOh-GhQ55u_JUeGGqfBJ13WY4-UkjlxU7Mpe_Q94LwPpecbeYTSX-TIvKLTnMH64cLjIFq3IAc5gUmGGfAtxTRdh75QZntPqaSWuu1RFTNT1AxdrK/s1600-h/Picture+18.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411600787185982146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8rA61d8kIQ3kN8HEL-WnLceFuTh6GOh-GhQ55u_JUeGGqfBJ13WY4-UkjlxU7Mpe_Q94LwPpecbeYTSX-TIvKLTnMH64cLjIFq3IAc5gUmGGfAtxTRdh75QZntPqaSWuu1RFTNT1AxdrK/s400/Picture+18.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 532px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><br />Wenner modeled the 16 3D gadgets in Cinema 4D, motion504’s primary 3D package for graphics. Each unique gadget features Victorian-influenced detail, flourishes and decoration, which Wenner hand-painted in ZBrush. Amy Schmitt, who worked closely alongside Scott from the project’s outset, including the live action shoot, handled a majority of the intensive tracking lighting and rendering required by the project.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJRLNExsNokGddNELFv3JfPVAJ7mavUxG0vwAqLZRd5pHlFN7GpWEyrxDXHgE8ITUhfCShk3ire-jL5f9bCZUvhoJwTD0azuaJpggGC5-WZiIdDdEbrGphdtWJTqsT665T1ZMVALlg6AS/s1600-h/Picture+20.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411600874728301426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJRLNExsNokGddNELFv3JfPVAJ7mavUxG0vwAqLZRd5pHlFN7GpWEyrxDXHgE8ITUhfCShk3ire-jL5f9bCZUvhoJwTD0azuaJpggGC5-WZiIdDdEbrGphdtWJTqsT665T1ZMVALlg6AS/s400/Picture+20.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 299px;" /></a><br /><br />According to Wenner, the biggest challenge motion504 faced had to do with the AICP’s only caveat: sponsor names may change at any time during production.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsJWCXcTuwCbhZ0ewrsKHkpUCspc_SIBdZ82o1MoZmyu_5azkEGZRERXQzY-P-S3HSBZRGzSxYDzIzOEkfc9gTRa9iFVJn-RriPBcJEEIVDC3UlFpzrBOuZxqVIWFwgnWmJ5m-qZEyOjGW/s1600-h/Picture+21.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411602958781694194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsJWCXcTuwCbhZ0ewrsKHkpUCspc_SIBdZ82o1MoZmyu_5azkEGZRERXQzY-P-S3HSBZRGzSxYDzIzOEkfc9gTRa9iFVJn-RriPBcJEEIVDC3UlFpzrBOuZxqVIWFwgnWmJ5m-qZEyOjGW/s400/Picture+21.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 535px; height: 299px;" /></a><br /><br />This meant the 3D models must be built flexible, interchangeable or even newly created at moment’s notice, with a fast turnaround.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghqg2ILwHClSfRYfMPTTwWUQnB9ibYtEph0OJUet3jelSj5ff2BTfavsGwcQQq5H-o9xjsx1YtoAnLJhTxfpPMAeCt7Wfi0yO5gA08vtRFLqS6O1RdJ-xF8hFTCgucjIeVTjfZEesGCzDx/s1600-h/Picture+22.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411602703351324514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghqg2ILwHClSfRYfMPTTwWUQnB9ibYtEph0OJUet3jelSj5ff2BTfavsGwcQQq5H-o9xjsx1YtoAnLJhTxfpPMAeCt7Wfi0yO5gA08vtRFLqS6O1RdJ-xF8hFTCgucjIeVTjfZEesGCzDx/s400/Picture+22.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 535px; height: 299px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuUOiGdYzLgAJOd_dKuGbI6FnPQetwl-BK7FQo05JoupPmmEo7QKmwXiZpeTaLLd6w5OV_0pbsTiPXO87rzAI_dBYte0AdicC5hByW4JsROkcwQHO4CYdpOIx82mJfTWfzQYdDBvRWP_Kj/s1600-h/Picture+23.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411602549381743362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuUOiGdYzLgAJOd_dKuGbI6FnPQetwl-BK7FQo05JoupPmmEo7QKmwXiZpeTaLLd6w5OV_0pbsTiPXO87rzAI_dBYte0AdicC5hByW4JsROkcwQHO4CYdpOIx82mJfTWfzQYdDBvRWP_Kj/s400/Picture+23.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 536px; height: 302px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLg4poTyqYn3TAPS-A54nDnriwUC0nAb4edVin-Sve1gz63GV43ddZmIX4xDcEis_zt2qmXgVnTEsfVbw6n9zYLVZM8int6PKHbwYSPCCpmQ7aw_OQKb7h-eE9sEcF5c1qghZot9BDIElY/s1600-h/Picture+25.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411603805860226514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLg4poTyqYn3TAPS-A54nDnriwUC0nAb4edVin-Sve1gz63GV43ddZmIX4xDcEis_zt2qmXgVnTEsfVbw6n9zYLVZM8int6PKHbwYSPCCpmQ7aw_OQKb7h-eE9sEcF5c1qghZot9BDIElY/s400/Picture+25.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 534px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><br />“The project certainly required us to be nimble, but the creative liberties we were given far outweigh the technical parameters,” concludes Wenner. “Creating the AICP Show reception sponsor reel is something we were very excited to do.

width: 531px; height: 241px;" /></a><br />REVO is a movement rooted in the concept of LOVE. We seek to think beyond ourselves, while redefining our modern conception of necessity. REVO is an idea in motion. A way of living. A noun. A VERB. Essentially, REVO thrives on the idea that ONE person is all it takes to trigger a domino effect of positive change.<br /><br />REVO is NOT a cause in and of itself. Rather, REVO exists to motivate and mobilize everyday people into taking REAL, creative steps toward relieving, restoring, and bringing HOPE to others in desperate need of compassion and grace. There are a lot of noteworthy organizations out there doing great work already. REVO simply helps these organizations to keep doing what they've been doing.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What is the goal of REVO LA?</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7YLH2qUjXkdbyu5PL7oY3g7IiuaM4Gq6NhyxdOTRqm7vrDy9DsPdeyjd3IOJcV8L40d_l5hclQY5EJ87mvOj3L1128A07nISQhu4rOu75zAWtGyml1rs6cfBvUBT2NPhORWvy5F0_9xA/s1600-h/causePapua.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386608165758521618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7YLH2qUjXkdbyu5PL7oY3g7IiuaM4Gq6NhyxdOTRqm7vrDy9DsPdeyjd3IOJcV8L40d_l5hclQY5EJ87mvOj3L1128A07nISQhu4rOu75zAWtGyml1rs6cfBvUBT2NPhORWvy5F0_9xA/s400/causePapua.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 238px;" /></a><br />Our goal at this time is to put on an art show this Spring (2009) that will heighten awareness of West Papua, Indonesia's broken school system. The money raised by this event will help fund "Sekolah Dasar Balem Wamena" (SDBW), a model school, which has recently become a light of HOPE in the corrupt regions of West Papua.<br /><br />Through REVO LA, SDBW will be able to offer these children much better learning material, as well as provide them with larger teaching grounds, so even more students can attend. Most of all, with SDBW in place, students are less likely to fall into the hands of abusive teachers (for more information on this current atrocity, be sure to read our cause page).<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How does REVO help others?</span><br /><br />The way REVO has been carried out thus far is through citywide events (i.e. art shows, fashion shows, benefit concerts, etc) with a THREE-PART PURPOSE:<br /><br />* » Heighten awareness about various forms of social injustice.<br />* » Raise funds for organizations that are already set in place.<br />* » Provide an opportunity for communities to come together for a purpose much greater than themselves.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A little history:</span><br />It all started a couple of years ago when Nina Brav found out that her friend, Kristie, was supporting an orphanage in Malawi with her own paycheck. Inspired to help her, Nina organized an art show to raise funds for them. It was at that art show that Nina was approached by two people from Tennessee and Louisiana. They wanted to know what they could do in their hometowns to help the causes that were important to them. And in that moment, the idea for REVO was born. Everyone is a revolutionary. Everyone is able to make a difference. Choose a cause that you are passionate about and start your very own revolution.<br /><br />Since that first art show, REVO has spread to fifteen states and five countries. It won the MySpace Impact Awards in 2008. Over one hundred thousand dollars has been raised in two years for causes including the Grace of God Orphanage, Blood Water Mission, Invisible Children, Not For Sale Campaign, Mocha Club and Stop the Traffik.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVR3JhTWYDkyDpFEbLY_GLVLAamqCV35eHUri1qW-0eEDvQe0jXxEOaV88UIS_w9Vc7tGpCjYfrkuYCBviJvpFBx0mO9aDB6hhkn-R3_nmMyPb-zwSnB6UWvKBUWXAuRuC0tDQ3wGmJqQ/s1600-h/eventInfo.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386607946078850130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVR3JhTWYDkyDpFEbLY_GLVLAamqCV35eHUri1qW-0eEDvQe0jXxEOaV88UIS_w9Vc7tGpCjYfrkuYCBviJvpFBx0mO9aDB6hhkn-R3_nmMyPb-zwSnB6UWvKBUWXAuRuC0tDQ3wGmJqQ/s400/eventInfo.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 239px;" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">WEBSITE:</span> <a href="http://revola.org/">revola.org</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">WHERE:</span> UCLA ACKERMAN GRAND BALLROOM<br />308 Westwood Plaza // Los Angeles, CA 90024<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">WHEN:</span> Sunday // Oct. 4, 2009 // 7:00PM<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ENTRANCE:</span> $10<br /><br />If you'd like to help out with REVO Los Angeles be sure to email them at <a href="mailto:info@startarevo.org">info@startarevo.org</a><br><br>

Here is one that was brought to my attention by the hip folks at <a href="http://www.notcot.com/">NOTCOT</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><blockquote><span><span style="font-style: italic;">"If Star Wars was filmed two decades earlier and Saul Bass did the opening title sequence, it "might" look like this...</span></span></blockquote><br /><br /><object height="380" width="525"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/z25t-PQDn5A"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/z25t-PQDn5A" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="380" width="525"></embed></object><span><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">This was part of a school project.

It cost $796,000 and was targeted at young people. The logo was unveiled Monday and within hours an online petition was established asking for a new design.<br />London's Design Museum founder Stephen Bayley said the logo was "a puerile mess, an artistic flop and a commercial scandal."<br /><br /><br /><h2>BELOW IS THE ACTUAL SPOT- DO NOT WATCH IF YOU HAVE EPILEPSY! </h2><br />I am not responsible for any reaction to the post.<br /><br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/d6vuccmcbCM"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/d6vuccmcbCM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
