“Irish legends SLF have managed to crowd fund their next album in less than 24 hours…”

See how they did it here

The (as yet untitled) 10th album is due out March 2014.

We’re calling it ‘Alternative Funder’.

A new, trippy animation by Jake Fried, who uses layers of ink, gouache, white-out fluid and coffee to build up subsequent scenes one on top of the last.

By the end, his canvasses often end up an inch thick with layered material.

Inspired by this TEDx Summit video by  Big Productions Paris, Italian director Luigi Pane of design studio Abstract Groove combines  a vintage kaleidoscopic technique and the Italian Gymnastics team ‘La Farfalle’ to eye-candiful effect. Abstract Groove sez:

We designed and built 4 thaumascopes of different sizes and shapes. The biggest one was 9 metres long with a triangular opening of 2.5 metres and the smallest was 1.5 metres in length with a square opening of 60 centimetres.
In order to understand how to achieve the graphics patterns we wanted, we started by studying small scale models and then we went onto CGI simulations. All the effects have been obtained in camera without the use of added post production.

Here’s how it was done.

‘Everything is straight out of Cinema 4D’, sez he. Damn. We so wanted it to be paper.
