A beautiful end credit animation created for the film 'Mentiras Piadosas' by director Diego Sabanes.

'A film based on Julio Cortázar’s “black comedy about white lies” short story “La Salud De Los Enfermos,” draws inspiration from shadow sculpture where the shadow, rather than the form, represents the object.'

Friday's Lecture - Rob Chiu

We were lucky enough to get Rob Chiu the director / motion designer in on Friday for an informal lecture. He talked us through some of his latest work for Cartier as well as a few older pieces which kick started his move from animation into directorial work.

His latest project is a short film for the ICareRevolution, an unorthodox charity for young people 'motivated by injustice'. Rob was given several subjects to cover within the film, which he has tackled by creating a narrative of 3 lives which intercept in some way. The entire film is about 10 minutes long but here's a trailer to take a peek at:

'Fair Game'

While the guys in the graphics team went to see 'Battle : Los Angeles' this weekend (the feedback from which has been pretty dire so far), I went to see 'Fair Game' which was pretty good. Check out the trailer here.
