This papercraft stop-motion film is both mesmerizing and and inspiring in so many ways. The story, lighting, the quality of the character rendering and the overall scenery is nothing short of pure genius. Can you tell I like it? Have a look for yourself.

Incredibly stimulating visuals and sounds coming from an artist partnership, Pedro Maia – film and Sandro Perri – music. I highly recommend you check out the full album by Sandro Perri called ‘Impossible Spaces’.

Notes from Vimeo:

“Love and Light” video aims to explore the relation between a musician and filmmaker and their personal reflection on memories. From Pedro Maia’s super 8 home movies archive, this video results from the work in the dark room using analogue means of light manipulation of the film in attempted to don’t allow us to forget the materials. Here are elusive shadows, the delicate materials turning and strobing and shaking as if to emphasize the fragility of the look, the fragility of these family films compacts have come apart at last, and in their dissolution, in the dying moments of their foreclosure and abandonment, these pictures have been left behind.”

DJBroadcast 52 – Robot Illustration from Super Silo on Vimeo.

I recently came across this very entertaining timelapse photoshop illustration by Super Silo (Dutch designer, Martijn van Dam) on ilovenewwork.com. Super impressive, and fun to follow. Especially if you’re the type that gets into the fancy photoshop maneuvers.

Hero from Miguel Endara on Vimeo.

The above video documents Miguel Endara’s 210 hour magical pointillism portrait of his father called ‘Hero’. How many dots does it take to create such an amazing image? He’s guessing about 3.2 million well placed micro dots of ink. Give or take one or two… Very impressive and very fun [...]]]>

Excerpt from his website:

“In 2009 I left for Kenya to work on a photographic project, I intended to portray the subtle balance connecting African people with their surrounding environment.  The project, named “A Bit of Africa”, should have provided as initial backdrop the suburban areas around Nairobi, later widening its focus towards pastoral and rural areas in East Africa.”

One of the more inspiring portfolios that I have seen in a long time is coming from France based design duo Thomas Couderc & Clément Vauchez. Everything from photo composite fine art prints to beautifully designed, energetic typography poster concepts, their portfolio site is a great destination to harvest some fresh ideas.

Notes from Behance:

“Octave has been created with the intention of fusing together the graphical elements of written musical composition with the English alphabet. My passion for illustration and typography made me naturally lean towards lettering, while music is a very important element in my creative process.”

I discovered these wonderfully rendered papercraft infographics this morning while checking out what was new on Behance. They were created by a young designer named Tien-Min who was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan. She graduated from the National Chengchi University in Taiwan and furthered her studies at my alma mater, Pratt Institute in New York. I really like her purposeful use of color and simplistic type design, works well with the papercraft imagery. There is more of her great design to be seen beyond the link below.

Being a long time fan of Amsterdam based influential music and lifestyle blogger Nalden, I’m pretty excited to try out his new super-slick iPad app. Just a few months ago he was soliciting for a talented experience designer to help him build out his dream app, now it seems that it’s come to fruition in a very nice way and is now available to download. Have a look for yourself, there are some very nice interactions happening within.

I came across this declined Myspace concept work by Mexican agency ‘Face.’ today on the Behance network, and I have to say it’s pretty solid. I’m feeling the aggregate content display similar to a ‘Pinterest‘ experience as well as the smart use of color and the clean bold graphics that involve little fuss or clutter. I also dig the fullscreen video presentation and floating nav elements, eluding towards the idea of a cleaner web TV integration. Nice work… taking notes.
