EVAQ - This video and song is bananas..
Asif Mian aka EVAQ from Queens, NY is killing it. This video
actually tops his last one for The Roots "Trilogy" (3
videos)
which I thought was bonkers already. This kid is the one to watch, if I ever thought about having a partner in Buildestroy
it would be him. Also this dude High Priest is from Anti Pop Consortium and now solo, so check his work out too. Niceness.
I don't know where to begin about how dope this video is so I won't, it just is. My favorite part is the "Skuf" tags from 1999
in the background, Brooklyn stand up. It's all in the details and Asif is extremely mindful of them. Grimey, perfect mix of
live action and Vis-FX and all very "in camera" feeling. Pop yourself a bottle son.

That's what I'm talking about...
I've always said that if I was modeling
BUILDESTROY after anyone it would be Motion Theory. Simply for the fact that
they reinvent themselves and their aesthetic each time and work with fine artists in such an amazing collaborative way.
I had a chance to be one of those collaborating artists with them in 2003 and it was great. They mix live action and 3D
animation in a way that shows so much attention and invention. Here's a new one from them for Modest Mouse with
both Guilherme Marcondes and David Ellis involved how could it go wrong?

My good friend David Ellis aka SKWERM of the Barnstormers is a long time collaborative partner of mine. The recreation
of his artwork in the video was amazing as is his paitnings, films, and sculptures. Here's links to his work:
http://www.freshwatercatfish.org/ and http://www.b-stormers.com/
He and I have done some great works in the past including these LO FI animations for Sesame Street.

And the technique that he developed known as "motion painting", I have used in a recent network rebrand for
LATV. This time filming all of the painting on green screen so we could isolate the layers and create 3D space.

SKWerm used the technique most recently in the KnowAids PSA (VISFX done by Mass Market):

Latest Heat
First entries into this catagory of motion
sickness, really define what I have this blog for.
Inspiration.
Guilherme Marcondes
The first piece is by the new Motion Theory Art Director. A Brazilian with a good sense of creating other worlds. Please watch this piece:
http://guilherme.tv/tyger/
...so this is such an emotional and amazing piece. It really captures what I'm after with BUILDESTROY in that it mixes all mediums and creates an amazing new world. The puppet is amazing, photography beautiful, the glowing vegetation, the illustrated characters turning into animals. It's brilliant, the music, the angles ,the tempo. Masterpiece visually and storywise, turning the city back to the jungle, all things become wild! This piece exudes power. He is one of my top 10 favorite in mograph.
90 Degrees
This piece is by 3 french cats. Jules Janaud, Raphael Martinez-Bachel, Francois Roisin. No idea if they have a company together.
But just watch this amazing animation. Sound design is equally as stunning in this one. To get to the film you must interact a bit with the blue square, which will make sense after viewing.
http://90degrees.free.fr/accueil.html
....this piece is a very hard thing to do. To show the creation of man and the world in a very cubist and geometric way, is both very difficult and very fitting. They accomplished something so hard to illustrate and did it with so much drama and meaning. When he finally gets connected with his head and he becomes whole it's triumphant, only to try to exist in an ever changing and complicating world. Brilliant in message, technique, and style. These 2 pieces blew me away.
Big up to my boy John Robson of Late Lunch for showing me last week.
