How can you not love an 8-bit rendition of The A Team, Mork and Mindy, Star Trek and others set to a chiptune track? Buenos Aires based animation and branding studio Punga created this piece for Italy’s Fox Retro station featuring the best of 70s, 80s and 90s American TV.
Fascinating and beautifully designed infographic on the recent Stuxnet virus that was used to cripple Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities last summer. With the design of the virus combined with stolen security clearances and twenty zero days holes, Stuxnet was able to cause some serious damage and set back Iran’s efforts. Now that the virus is open-source and available for download, the question is who be the next to use Stuxnet with its capables of shutting down nuclear reactors or oil pipelines.
The direction and animation of this infographic was done by Australian motion designer Patrick Clair and written by Scott Mitchell
Recently the motion graphics pioneer Bradley G Munkowitz’s, GMUNK, updated his portfolio with eight case studies for the visual graphics and eye-candy work that he lead for Tron. Each of the projects show multiple renders, behind the scenes elements, and beautiful screenshots of the work.
For the entirety of 2010, munkowitz led a black-ops team of GFX all-stars deep into the darkness at Digital Domain crafting over 12 minutes of holographic content for the feature film Tron
Back in the early 2000s I remember being blown away by GMUNK’s work. In fact his work, along with other up and coming interactive and motion designers, was one of my major influences in perusing design.
Bonus points to anyone who makes an animated GIF of his Mandingo Immortal project. I’m sure it’ll be an instant Tumblr hit.
Marcus Eckert has master fine art of using animation with tempo and flow to illustrate a story. Although the client names and references have been removed and voiceover has yet to be added this is worth a look.
Seeing this makes me want to go back to my mid-2000s days at 2Advanced and dust off After Effects and C4D’s Mograph module.

“in all directions in and out you’ve got your men, women, dogs, children, horses, homes, pools, parturiencies…” I have absolutely no clue what this is talking about, but it has a fantastic style to it. Motion and design by freelance creative Sean McClintock based in New York City.
I just discovered this music video on Creative Boom’s new Tumblr site (using the Inspire Well theme) for The Japanese Popstars’ new track ‘Let Go’. The well executed and quite trippy animation style was directed by David Wilson and produced by the team at Colonel Blimp.
The animation reminds me of James Patterson’s, PRESSTUBE, work who really helped pioneer this Flash animation style in the early 2000s. If you appreciated the animation in this music video take some time to explore through the PRESSTUBE site.
There’s always room for improvements. ”I’m gonna make it better.” Experimental animation by Climent Canal (idea & design), Sebastián Baptista (animation) and Aimar Molero (audio).
