A collection of pleasant things…

1. The ‘Londoners Through a Lens’ photo exhibition at the Getty Images Gallery in London will be exhibiting from the 14th August, showing photographs throughout the past century.
2. This photo editorial from Teen Vogue is from last month, but I still can’t get over the styling and how pretty Emma Watson is!
3. Illustrations by Sougwen Chung are absolutely beautiful. Her drawings section is also nice to look at too.
4. Tord Boontje jewellery from Artecnica. If you’re not familiar with Tord Boontje, I recommend you take a look at his website.
5. Martin Wilson creates large images from the strips laid out on the contact sheet. Each frame is taken specifically in the right order, so one mistake and he starts again!
6. Littlepixel at Flickr has a great set dedicated to classic record sleeves in the style of Pelican books.
7. How awesome are these vintage Coca Cola cans? See more at Inspiredology.com
8. The Uniform Project is a year long fundraising idea for the Akanksha Foundation by Sheena Matheiken. She has ‘pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion’.
9. Jr.Canest has some pretty good film and animation work at Vimeo. I like ‘A Walk Around Vancouver’ and Crazy Enough – Title Sequence in particular. The first one reminds me of the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which is my favourite film of all time!
10. A brilliant stop motion music video involving a lot of chalk, for the Firekites song Autumn Story by Lucinda Schreiber and Yanni Kronenberg.
Music Videos
Apr 22.09 / Animation, Inspire
I’ve been very busy at the moment with the final project of my second year so I have had barely any spare time to stop and relax! However, I only have about a week left so I’ll be able to work on a few more interesting things to show you later on. But for now, here are two music videos that I absolutely adore, not just because they look good, but because of the massive effort that went into them both.
Dinosaur TV animations

I’ve been working on a make believe TV channel project over the last few weeks and had to come up with the channel identities you see inbetween programmes and some programme announcements etc. I learnt how to use Adobe After Effects to make these which was a nightmare at first, but it’s not too bad to use now!
