2012 Vimeo Awards - Documentary

Last One! Ever wanted to make a mini doc without words? Pretty interesting. I don't remember delivering newspapers like that...

2012 Vimeo Award Winners - Fashion

I actually became really fond of this piece the second time I watched it. The "fashion" category is beyond me; I thought it had shown merit in other areas as well.

Here's a great mini doc. I think it's pretty good for a couple of reasons; it speaks to the idea that that we're all artist trying to find avenues to do our art (for better or worse). It also touches on the industry, client-relationship-dynamics, travel and the sobering effects of globalization (there's a lot that fifteen minutes). Lastly, I found it to be very well done, technically speaking, and the Benet's "character" as this grumpy cynic. The video was posted on Motionographer but has since been pulled and made private, dumb, but I was able to find it else where... and it won't embed...

This made me smile. Classic example of banking on PES-like techniques; down to the food related objects.

Without Words

Lately I've been thinking about story telling without words. Perhaps it's the ADA compliance, the recognition The Artist is getting or just because I found these two great examples.

The first example is the title sequence for a film called Herbst. German for fall, it's a really nice piece that not only works without words but without live action as well.

The second clip, The Imposters, is probably a little more akin to what you might imagine when you think of silent film, slap stick and everything.

Efsane Tekirdağ

I have no idea what country this is from, what language they are speaking, or even if this liquor they are hawking is any good. But, this is a great example of building up line work to stylistic rendering. Subtle, yet effective sound design rounds this one out.
