One of the first 3D Computer Graphics by Pixar (1972)

Generative Identity Design for MIT Media Lab
TheGreenEyl has teamed up with E Roon Kang to create a visual identity that keeps up with the heterogeneity of the MIT Media Lab. Instead of creating a single static logo they have gone for a far more contemporary option: with processing as the tool of choice they have developed an algorithm to create over 40.000 possible variations of the identity.

VW Polo: Surfing in Maui
For the campaign “te cambiará la vida“ (it will change your life) of Volkswagen Spain, I have animated a one-minute, motion graphics video with a colorful Hawaiian aesthetic.
The project has been done in close collaboration with the nice folks at Cannonball Studio and combines several motion and compositing-techniques. These animated postcards represent the last video of a mixed-media campaign, that closely integrates TV-Ads, a website and web videos.

cctv: what are you looking at?
Closed circuit television (cctv) can be considered as the symbolic incarnation of surveillance and control of habits in public spaces.
Since the whole topic concerns me a lot, I was delighted to find a copyleft-picture of a banksy-stencil on flickr. And – within one afternoon – I brought this great conceptual idea to motion.
The underlying sound collage is based on samples by suonho and the whole clip is licensed under the creative commons license.
