Gastaloops // A 100 days looping gif project by Nicola Gastaldi

Aus einer kleinen Idee wurde Gastaloops von Nicola Gastaldi zu einem 100 Tage Projekt, in welchem er jeden Tag ein neues animiertes Gif erstellte. Um sich dabei selbst herauszufordern gab es folgende Einschränkungen: Verwendung von drei Farben (weiß, rot und schwarz), maximal 50 Frames und ein perfekter Loop – die Ergebnisse sind dabei wirklich erstaunlich! 100 der Gif Loops wurden anschließend in dem Musikvideo „Out“ von IISO gefeatured (Vimeo Staff Pick 20th Feb 2017). In order to fuel the creativity, I wanted to limit myself. Limits always work great with my mindset: playing between boundaries makes me feel more comfortable and relaxes me. So, the limits are: 50 frames, 3 set colours, perfect loop. The last rule is not to have any rule about the tools used or the style created. Every gif could be done in a 3d program, in After Effects, Photoshop, hand drawn, shot, Houdini, Real Flow, particles or fluid simulations, whatever. A tool is just a tool and it shouldn’t matter what you use when you create something. Also, sometimes is even more interesting creating an animation stepping out from our comfort zone. And this is what I did in a lot of the gifs. Credits: Nicola […]

Summer’s Almost Gone // Illustrationen von Guy Shield

Der in Melbourne lebende Illustrator Guy Shield liebt es mit seinen Werken Geschichten zu erzählen. Die meist farbenfrohen und detailreichen Zeichnungen erinnern dabei oft an kurze Filmsequenzen mit einer gewissen Vorliebe zur Verschlagenheit oder Melancholie – als ob etwas unter der unschuldigen Fassade der letzten Sommertage brodelt. Hier ein kleiner Auszug seiner Illustrationen – viele weitere kommerzielle, redaktionelle und persönliche Werke findet ihr auf seiner Website oder Facebook Fanpage. Growing up in Richmond (back when it was dangerous) and being terrible at sport, Guy taught himself to draw in the back of his books. He littered the pages with the depths of his imagination, hoping one day his talents would not only find fame and fortune but also attract tonnes of women. Probably for the better, neither truly prevailed, but what did evolve was an undying love for image-making and a career in publishing and illustration. Guy works foremost in pen and ink, producing scenes akin to movies without sound or motion. He carefully crafts frames that provoke intrigue and familiarity, through formal compositions and engaging colour palettes. Put simply, Guy’s passion is scenic storytelling » Guy Shield Website » Guy Shield Facebook Fanpage » Guy Shield Instagram » Guy […]
