Videos
Olly Moss
This video from Offset 2012 is an interesting look into the working process of Winchester based graphic designer Olly Moss. He talks about his career and the creative process involved with creating poster artworks for a number of big Hollywood films. Not only does he discuss his successful projects but he also goes through a number of jobs that didn’t come out as intended. There’s also a look at his debut exhibition in LA at Gallery 1988.
5M80 by Nicolas Deveaux
This really made me smile. A beautifully executed 3D short film directed by Nicolas Deveaux featuring high board diving Giraffe’s. Paris based Cube Creative marks a decade in business with this magical and architecturally stunning film named for the average height of its stars. This film follows on from Nicolas’s previous film 7 Tonnes 3 which features a trampolining elephant.
Inside McLaren Technology Centre
An interesting look inside the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey. It’s amazing the design and care that goes into the production line and not just the MP4-12C.
James Victore: Your Work Is A Gift
This is a great talk by James Victore about striving to do good design work that really matters. His work for the Department of Probation is a great example of taking a difficult project and making something truly great. He does use a few rude words in this video (…and all of the other ones).
Prometheus UI by Territory
It’s inspiring when you see the work of a friend from University on the big screen at your local cinema. Territory Studio in London worked on creating the User Interface graphics for last years Prometheus by Ridley Scott.
Tall Tales from a Large Man
This is a great Creative Mornings talk in Portland by Aaron Draplin from last year . Aaron explains his point of view on life as a graphic designer in a very unique way: ’a 50 point plan ruin yer career’. In case you offend easily there is quite a bit of swearing.
Universal Everything Documentary
Matt Pyke’s latest work at Universal Everything for Hyundai is absolutely stunning. The Creators Project has done a short documentary about Matt’s work (above), showing how Universal Everything works together as a team and what drives their creativity. It’s a great insight into how they create such beautiful motion graphics work.
The Shard: A Timelapse Study
Our local expert in architectural photography Paul Raftery has collaborated with director Dan Lowe to create a timelapse film showing the final weeks of construction of The Shard tower in London. It was shot over many long days during the early months of 2012, from locations spanning from Greenwich Park to Hampstead Heath.
Everything is a Remix
Everything is a Remix is a thought provoking video about IP, Copyright and Patents produced by Kirby Ferguson, a New York-based film maker. It’s an American take on IP and Patents but very much relates to the UK. Seeing how much the original concept of protecting inventors rights and promoting creative thinking has changed is a little scary. The opinion of how much the original concept has been abused by opportunist capitalists is quite an eye opener.
