This is possibly the best thing I've ever seen.

Star Wars in Lego in 2.5 minutes

An animation of for the original star wars trilogy made of lego, in 2.5 minutes. Fast and funny!

Type and Code

Today I've been experimenting in processing with text, simple stuff but with some nice results even just as eye candy. I was inspired by this workshop called 'Type and Code' (http://www.yeoahn.com/typecode/index.html) and decided to play around with some of the techniques it covered on the website.

Video of some of the animations can be viewed below, the quality has suffered a bit but for the record the white dots are @'s and probably my favourite. Now if only I could remember how I did it:


Hope to experiment more soonly!

Calculated Movements

Early video art by Larry Cuba in 1985. Extremely cool!

Title Sequence Progress

Trying to plough ahead with my title sequence but I've hit a bit of a wall trying to get the text as I want it. I've been trying to film it from an old crt tele, managed to stop it flickering and get the lighting right but for some reason the camera is adding a jitter almost as if I was hand holding it but it's on a tripod. Here's a screenshot. Visually gorgeous, but not working as an animation. Hoping I can fix it as the digital vector just does not have the same effect.

Animated Gif website

I am not an artist is animated gif paranoia. Very very cool to sit and watch, and play with. You can also participate by uploading your own gifs which will be added to the page. I've uploaded a few as well including my jelly beans one and a funny one of me and louise

My Virtual Space

Final(ish) piece for 3 cubed project. Few bits I'd like to work on but pretty pleased for now:

Alphabet development

More development of my alphabet today. Managed to get the video camera recording after a bit of pestering the technicians at uni. I fed the picture of the letter into the TV via my mac, and then recorded it with the old camera, I played around with the focus and shutter a bit which gave me some cool glowy effects.

Looks quite nice when like above, but sometimes it was a bit too overpowering so I may just use it a little, if at all.

After filming the letter with the old VHS camera, I then set up a DV camera (too many cameras!) and fed the VHS camera into the TV via scart.

As I fimed it with the DV camera I used the tracking, pause, skip frame, rewind and forwarding to try and create some cool effects. It involved a lot of mashing of various buttons to work out what worked best. Skipping between pausing, rewinding and forwarding is particularly effective.

Here is a little bit of a film to show what kind of stuff I got, this is my favourite bit I captured.



Hopefully do some more letters tomorrow.

Playing with Numbers

Here are the final screens for my playing with numbers project. Pretty pleased with them, some may need a little tweaking, background colour changes etc.

Playing With Numbers

From a project called 'Playing With Numbers' where we have to create imagery in flash using action script.

Here are some of my first experiments from the first week:










Got some more complex code to play with now....More to come!

Gestures GUI

Graphic User Interface design based around the idea of hand gestures, using characters to explore the personalities behind them. Hopefully will get this online sometime, just need to try and downsize it a little and/or create a pre-loader.

Animation to Sound no.2

Animation created in flash to a sound file we were given.

Her Morning Elegance Stop Motion

Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance
Uploaded by IgnitionVM

Amazing stop-motion animation that uses the bed as a platform for lots of interesting animations, with the woman asleep playing them out.Really clever and creative!

Pop Goes The Weasel

One of my all time favourite stop-motion animations.


Inspired by the 50 greatest stop-motion animation lists over at: Smashingmagazine which I am currently working my way through. I didn't see this on the list so thought I' post the thing here at least.

Projection Art

Cool video that shows lots of different projections onto various 3d environments using some sort of 3d mapping system. My favourite is probably the projection of the buildings lights going on and off, simple but very clever.

Human Gaming

Watch in absoloute amazement.



Edit: Just found space invaders as well!
