Spotlight Stories: Windy Day de Jan Pinkawa

Abans hem parlat d'una spotlight story, Duet. Aquí us en deixo dues més:

Windy Day

Director: Jan Pinkawa

La caracterització, animació, escriptura de guions, l'art, etc. a càrrec d'un equip d'ex-Pixar, entre ells el co-director de Ratatouille. L' encarregada del projecte Spotlight Stories, Regina Dugan, explica que la idea és mostrar-li a la gent el que es pot arribar a fer amb un smartphone. Un altre objectiu era construir una narració que li donés a l'usuari el control de la càmera.








En la seva versió per a mòvils, la pantalla mostrarà un bosc virtual on es podrà escoltar una melodia de gipsy jazz a l'estil Django. Al desplaçar el telèfon cap a la dreta, a dalt, avall o a l'esquerra podem veure més d'aquest món, inclòs un ratolí anomenat Pepe, i un baret que vola amb un vent molt persistent.


Spotlight Stories: Glen Keane - Duet

Avui us deixo una animació que més enllà de l'excés de sucre, és interessant perquè forma part d'una sèrie de projectes anomenats Spotlight Stories, i es caracteritzen perquè uneixen l'animació amb la interactivitat en els dispositius mòvils, on  l'usuari es converteix en la pròpia càmera (en una versió que requerirà un reproductor especial per al seu visionat). De moment aquí us deixo l'animació, "a pèl".

Glen Keane, el director d'aquesta obra, és conegut pels seus 38 anys treballant per Disney en personatges com Ariel, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Tarzan o Rapunzel.


The Making of "Duet" 

A behind the scenes look at the making of Google ATAP's Spotlight Story, "Duet". Directed by Disney Animator Glen Keane, "Duet" is a celebration of life through the hand-drawn line. The "Making of Duet" shares the team, the technology and the art behind the creation of this beautiful interactive film.

Rollin`Wild - Short Funny Animated Clips - Film Academy BW




Director & Writer: Kyra Buschor and Constantin Paeplow
Release Date: 2012 / 2013 (Germany)
Production Company: Film Academy Baden-Württemberg / Flying Stone

Some common wildlife scenes in the world of "Rollin'Wild".
"When we presented the clips the reaction was overwhelming and they seemed to have immediately touched the audiences' hearts." 

"We realized then that four clips wouldn't be enough and that the world was ready for many more spherical animals."

"With that aim, we (Kyra Buschor and Constantin Paeplow) founded a small company called Flying Stone. At the moment we are working hard to extend the world of Rollin' Wild and we hope that we will soon be able to present you with more round animals."

HUNGU


http://www.nfb.ca/hungu

The hungu is an African musical instrument, ancestor of the Brazilian berimbau. Its origins are carried on in an ancient tradition. Inspired by the grace and raw beauty of African rock paintings, Nicolas Brault applies his narrative gifts to a world where humans and nature are subtly linked.

Under the African sun, a child walks in the desert with his kin. Death is prowling, but a mother's soul resurrected by music will return strength and life to the child when he becomes a man.

The filmmaker combines 2D animation on a graphics tablet with the warmth of sand animation, thus uniting modernity and tradition, Brazil and Africa, music and memory. Sparse in design and humanist in its outlook, Hungu exudes the elegance and suggestive power of a timeless story.
