Simmin VOD by ThankYou

Let’s start this post with what you love most, you motion addicts — some beautiful animations!

We’ll start with two ads for Síminn created by ThankYou:

Nice, right? I really like the elements from the footage that break out of the frame and interact with the rest of the animation. Like the falling car or the basketball — well thought out :)
Sound design plays a huge role here; we’re selling film, so might as well set the mood with explosions, gunshots, and wooosshhss!

TED 2009 Opening by Trollback

Next up, the opening sequence for TED 2009:

At Dk, they know how to have fun. A visit to a perfect studio:

If Chrissy wants to come give me some After Effects lessons, she’s more than welcome!
This little parody really made me laugh, with gems like:
"I don’t work in motion graphics, I work in emotion graphics"
"Am I beautiful because my work is beautiful? Or is my work beautiful because I am beautiful? Probably a bit of both..." among many others ^^
