Type Elephant, Niteesh Yadav

“Dream Big” by Niteesh Yadav, a graphic UI designer and letterer from New Delhi, India.

“Niteesh’s piece is for the “IndiaThroughType” series, aimed to bring out some unique and interesting aspects of India through various type based experiments. He is traveling across the country to witness the rich culture, arts/crafts and daily practices from which to draw inspiration for Finding.design, a personal project to find out what is Indian Design?
This is the first piece to kickoff the project. The “paint” used is not a paint but powdered natural colors mixed with water which are used to decorate the elephants during Indian festivals. The elephant’s name is Rani, which means queen in English. Niteesh spent an entire day getting to know her before he began painting. He said she seemed to really enjoy it.”

Talk about some original places to do lettering!

Pixar in A Box – free animation courses

March 1, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Pixar in a Box from Khan Academy

As a member of a Pixar-crazed family, it is very interesting that Pixar Animation Studios has teamed up with Khan Academy to release Pixar in A Box, a new free online resource, where through a series of great video lessons, interactive exercises and hands-on activities, students discover how the math concepts they learn in school enable Pixar filmmakers to work on things like Environmental Modeling, Character Modeling, Animation, Crowds, Sets and Staging, and Rendering. The program is designed for kids in sixth grade and up, but is available and accessible to all ages. Each part has a series of short videos explaining the practical use of math using an example from a Pixar movie, then the user can play around with an app online.

Great for kids to see the connection between the math they learn at school and their application in the cool world of Pixar.

My Stuffed Granny

February 23, 2016 / / 0 Comments

“Little Sofia loves her grumpy granny: even though she is always hungry and eats what little food they can buy. Her pension is the only thing keeping her and her father alive. To what extremes will they go to once granny is no more?”

My Stuffed Granny is a short animation with plenty of black humor, inspired by the current Greek financial crisis. Effie Pappa’s stop-motion animation, is not really a fairytale for kids, but an allegorical take on Greece’s younger generation who must become creative and persistent in order to build a better future for their country.

Inside the Pantone color factory

February 18, 2016 / / 0 Comments

 “Designers and artists all over the world use Pantone’s color guides to make sure their blue is actually blue. Like a Webster’s dictionary for color, Pantone guides are a standard against which anyone can check their own work. Those standards are created at Pantone’s factory headquarters in Carlstadt, New Jersey. In this video, Quartz talks to the workers who maintain and enforce those standards.”

Inside the Pantone color factory: This lovely video gives an insight to the making of the famous Pantone colors we all know and many of us use every day in our work.

In this beautifully animated RSA Short, Dr Brené Brown explains the difference between empathy and sympathy, saying we can only create a genuine empathic connection if we are brave enough to really get in touch with our own fragilities. So true.

OKG0 Upside Down Inside Out

This video by OK Go is simply unbelievable!

I am sure you are wondering “How did they do it?” Well your questions are answered here. I will just mention the words: zero gravity, 21 flights, trained acrobats & splattered paint….

OK Go is the awesome group behind this amazing video and this.

UPDATE 18/2/16: Because the video was removed from YouTube for some reason, you can now only watch it on OK Go’s official website. Just click on the image above.

The Present

February 1, 2016 / / 1 Comment

This short animation is so good and it’s no surprise it has won more than 50 awards.

I hadn’t realized Jacob Frey is the same director, who did Bob a few years back, a very funny animation about a hamster, that my kids loved watching again and again. We will probably see more of him, since “The Present” was only his thesis for Film Academy in Germany and since then he has gone to work for Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Based on a comic strip by Fabio Coala.
