Mixtape Club (YG7)

Too technical for the arts, too creative for the sciences, YG8 Jurors Chris Smith,
Jesse Casey, and Michelle Higa funneled their collective love of music, computer
science and semiotics into the world of animation, and Mixtape Club (YG7) was
born.

Airside_UK

See Airside from Apple.com/pro. Airside’s work often marries sound and visual in interesting ways. I love the animation piece they did for Relaunch Vitsœ’s website

Airside was born in 1998 when three freelancers who shared a studio space joined forces. Since then, they’ve grown into a multidisciplinary creative studio that produces fun and innovative work. Partner Fred Deakin is a musician in the band Lemon Jelly.

Visual Flow

I was talking about music being a great metaphor to describe the flow with graphics and design, Noah Kareus sent me the perfect sample after class. Thanks, Noah.

Poetry and Animation

In general, animation and poetry can share some similar and pertinent characteristics.

1. Often, both occur in short form and use language (signifier) to either condense or suggest meaning.
   
2. Both forms are also informed by the self-reflexive presence of the author.
   
3. deliberately play with established codes and conventions of expression and visualization.
   
4. Both maintain an openness to interpretation through the various layers of meaning embedded in the literal execution of the message and material expressed.
   

The following is an example of a poem expressed and re-invented using the animation medium.
Julian Grey of Head Gear Animation has embraced the special relationship between poetry and animation in his interpretation of ex-USA Poet Laureate, Billy Collins's poetry. See Julian's sundance action poetry series for Sundance Channe.
