Truth and Beauty

I just finished watching this presentation by medical illustrator and animator David Bolinsky â?? posted first on the TED site back in July, and lately refreshed on motionographer â?? and thought it was worthwhile pushing it here.

Made while still on the Maxon Cinema4d beta test team, testing the Shockwave3d exporter for Macromedia Director. Strange that 10 years on and we’re almost redoing what had already been done with fake quads in Director – but now in Flash with Papervision3d, or Away3d or others…

I miss doing 3d. Will have to make time for more.

TVT Records Rock Hard

Made in the days before iTunes ever existed, this crossplatform CD-ROM for TVT Records highlighted a number of upcoming artists and releases. Each artist was given it’s own ‘site’ (following the website theme wanted by the album, complete with mac os 9 inspired browser frame) with artwork and feel based upon the album artwork. Users could listen to the embedded audio clips, watch the music videos (in custom video players), see artist images, and read about the products — all whilest rocking to some heavy tunes.

Designed and authored a number of other cdroms for TVT including artists such as the Black Crowes with Jimmy Page and the Beastie Boys’ DJ Hurricane – which used Thomas Dolby‘s (yes of ‘She Blinded Me With Science’ fame) Beatnik technology which was extremely ahead of it’s time — allowing users to control a virtual sampler and remix their own version of the single. Â For this I had to break apart the sounds of the actual single and make a new triggerable version.
