A Dancing Silly Sausage Illustration

The weather is going bonkers. Barbecue smells in February. Our silly sausage has decided to do a dance.

P.S. According to research by The Independent, the British loves talking about the weather. The average British person will spend four and half months of their life talking about weather.

Goal England Goal Football Animation

As Team England will play tonight at the World Cup Semi Finals against Croatia, we have created a little animation of our Footy from our V for Vibes range in red and white kit to root on the England Team.

Although #WaistCoatWednesday is trending, for now, our footy won't have a waist coat just yet, as it needs to roll freely on the pitch, but the manager can. Goal goal goal Team England! 

Cocktails and Dreams

Animated cocktail recipes, made with paper by Yell Designs in Melbourne, Australia.

Simply heavenly. We love how they have created cocktail recipes using various paper props combined with animation and how they described the use of paper for making cocktails, in this project website titled, PaperMeal "If we can make it out of paper, you can make it out of booze."

Throw Some Shapes Ballet Style

Beautiful and precise geometric ballet shapes created by mapping movements of the ballerina via "Ballet Rotoscope". Très elegant.  

A short film created by Masahiko Sato + EUPHRATES, 佐藤雅彦＋ユーフラテス. 

佐藤雅彦＋ユーフラテス Masahiko Sato + EUPHRATES 1'53" / Short Movie / 2011 ------------------------------ ロトスコープ（rotoscope）と呼ばれるアニメーションの手法を発展させて作り上げた実験映像です。ロトスコープは通常、人物の輪郭線をなぞってアニメーションを制作する方法が一般的ですが、本作品では撮影したバレリーナの動きを正確にトレースし、そこからダンスの軌跡を描いた曲線や、計算機科学などの数理的な手法で生成されたアニメーションを合成しています。実写映像とアニメーションが相互に関係し合う、新しい美しさを持つ表現を目指しました。 CD: 佐藤雅彦 AD: 山本晃士ロバート Dir: 山本晃士ロバート, 石川将也 Camera: 佐藤匡 Programmer: 安本匡佑 Dancer: 浦邉玖莉夢 Musical Performance: 小川恵生 Co: 田中みゆき Production: ユーフラテス 本映像は、経済産業省と映像産業振興機構による 「コ・フェスタPAO」事業の一環として制作されました。 ------------------------------ This work is an experimental video created from a research about "Rotoscope" and "Computer Geometry".
