AICP - 2016 Reel

Motion Graphics reel from Method Design presents motion captured dancers in various renderings, notable for some impressive realistic physics:

Method Design was tapped by production company RSA to concept and create this year’s sponsor reel for AICP at the MoMA The AICP awards celebrate global creativity within commercial production. Method Design wanted to create an entertaining piece of design that encapsulates the innovative and prolific nature of this industry. Our aim was to showcase the AICP sponsors as various dancing avatars which playfully reference the visual effects used throughout production. Motion capture, procedural animation and dynamic simulations combine to create a milieu of iconic pop dance moves that become an explosion of colorful fur, feathers, particles and more. 

Hyper-Reality

PSA - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Short film by Keiichi Matsuda offers first person perspective in a highly saturated world of augmented reality - this really is worth six minutes of your time:

Our physical and virtual realities are becoming increasingly intertwined. Technologies such as VR, augmented reality, wearables, and the internet of things are pointing to a world where technology will envelop every aspect of our lives. It will be the glue between every interaction and experience,offering amazing possibilities, while also controlling the way we understand the world. Hyper-Reality attempts to explore this exciting but dangerous trajectory. It was crowdfunded, and shot on location in Medellín, Colombia.
