IGN Projects & Inspiration

If you haven't been following what Element 3D can do, here's a nice compilation of what can be done. 

Element 3D

Cinema 4D unfolding script. There is a tutorial here on how to use this script. There is also one on the Rown's Vimeo page that shows it in action with no audio. Some pretty cool stuff. 

Active Tuts+ - Covers 3D, Effects and a lot more. There is a membership fee for the "high end" tutorials but a lot of good free stuff as well. 

Lumbre does a real slick job at branding. In a good deal of their vids they break out the bumpers, intros, outros etc. Check out he one above and a lot more on their site. 

In case you missed this one on Up at Noon, here's a piece that Gravish killed it on. Sound is missing but it's still sick. 

Nice mix of work...  if you pay attention to the watermarks or credits on each clip... interesting to see the variety of graphics houses represented - many of which I have never heard of.

As a follow up to Erik's oddly surreal post Solipsist, here's the making of video. Some pretty interesting techniques here. There is a great balance between CG/computer technology and "hand made" effects. 

Soon every home will have a robot helper. Don't worry, it's perfectly safe.

A refreshing piece of art / animation.  I really love the style of this video.  Especially when the lights go off and the neon/blacklights come on around 1:25.  Nice mixture of the 2d and 3d animation as well.

This piece takes a look inside the NY Times Graphics department. 

File this under "And now for something completely different." Grabbed off http://butdoesitfloat.com/ which is a fun scroll. - Erik

Some crazy style and storyboard work by Ash Thorp. There is a lot of work in the genre of our target audience for both entertainment and gaming. Ash recently finished a period of work at Prologue. Some really inspiring design work in here. 

Check out Brian Kai Louie's storyboards. High quality illustration and highly stylized storyboards.
