Grand Marnier Fun fashionable Animated commercials

Kristy T. posted an article on - Dec 15, 2010, 2:15 pm
I love everything about this world created by Grand Marnier. Can I be a silhouette on that balcony? A part of that party? Inspired by vintage french posters, the animation style is minimal and the bold colors can't help but grab your attention. Animators at Studio 9K9 infused life into print mater...

Awesome movie intro: it's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

Kristy T. posted an article on - Jul 9, 2010, 1:24 pm
This simple line drawn 2d animated intro is about as inspiring as it can get, in my eyes. The number of scenarios imagined out of a globe, or circle, or egg, is really impressive and entertaining - it just goes to show that a great idea really goes a long way. You can see such great title sequences ...

Kristy T. posted an article on - Jun 10, 2010, 7:31 am
Brand New School goes old school with a low-fi stop motion sponsor reel for this year's AICP awards. The team took advantage of the rich grimy streets of New York and used them as their abstract art backgrounds to illustrate the corporate sponsor titles.

Toyota Avalon Travels Back in Time

Kristy T. posted an article on - Apr 21, 2010, 11:29 pm
What do you guys think about these new retro kitsch Toyota Avalon commercials? They are part Mad Men, part vintage advertising, and part stepford wife creepy. At first i thought they totally missed their mark, trying to be vintage but not going far enough with the aesthetic, lighting or film stocks,...
