Bringing mid-century graphic design to life. ⚡️

I had the absolute honour of taking part in this month’s Design Before Motion collaboration!

What is Design Before Motion? You get randomly assigned a classic piece of mid-century design work to animate, and then you’re paired up with a sound designer—enter Tomas @svidanza_audio! 🎧

This month all artwork was from the legendary archive of ads of @volkswagen_uk. I was gifted a beautiful piece by the legendary Hans Looser. I had so many ideas flowing right away because the original artwork is just so dynamic.

I started by recreating the vintage artwork and sourcing textures, keeping story beats in mind so Tomas would have plenty to play with on the audio side—all while adding a modern twist to that classic mid-century vibe.

Once the motion was locked, I passed it over to Tomas, and this masterpiece came together! I’m really happy with how it turned out. A massive thank you to @marcmotiondesign and johnodysseyaudio for putting this whole collab together. 👏

If you’re an animator or sound designer and want to get involved, definitely reach out!

I’ve also included the full carousel set, so grab a coffee and have a little scroll and appreciate all the amazing work everyone has done. ☕️📱

Whats your fav? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Custom teddy bear tattooed on the arm for Patrick 🧸 based on reference photos taken by Patrick to emphasize as much dimension and texture as possible, per Patrick’s request 🖤 This bear was made by Patrick’s grandmother and gifted to him when he was born. It’s genuinely amazing to see (on slides 2&4) how well the bear has held up for the entirety of his life. Thanks for your trust Patrick, had so much fun talking about literally everything with you 🤣 Patrick also does a lot of REALLY cool animation & digital art, go check out his work @prbmotion 🗣️🗣️🗣️❤️‍🔥

Can you believe it’s already been a month since @thedashbash?

Having already animated a section of the opening, I decided on a risky project: extending the message of the video with the help of the audience/community. l'd take a memento of people holding the character, that would bring the character to life thanks to everyone’s participation. If you appear, probably the interaction was something like: can I take a picture of you holding this? -photo- here you have a memory of you at @thedashbash being yourself.

It wasn’t an easy process with a couple of big hiccups.

I did an easy loop of the character > I printed them over acetate > cover the surface of the character so eyes and body would be opaque > laminate them > bring a kids camera that prints on termal paper (I had seen it at @pieza_multiestudio inauguration and tested it with a camera @proyecto_muslamen lent me > make almost 90 portrait pictures to attendees > by mistake format the SD card and lose everything > have a panic attack > trust the process and continue taking pictures with my phone > use a recovery program > take screenshots > center, scale and rotate the pics so the character is always in the center > make 4 additional pics to fill some gaps > discover the camera doesn’t detect imported files > re photograph and print every centered photo > cut and name every photo > scan > sequence again > done!

In one moment I decided I couldn’t take a picture of everyone, keep the truck of sequence, control the camera angle and also enjoy the event, so I had to balance between both, sometimes awkwardness would win me over so that I wouldn’t ask for a photo, so if I didn’t ask you for a photo believe me it wasn’t a personal thing. Despite having photographed 1/4 of the audience (counting some employees from the convention center), my kid, and my mother in law’s dog.

After all the process, I think there is more magic in seeing people holding uniquely each frame than in what happens in the frames themselves. The motion community is like an animation. You can focus on one or two isolated frames, but it’s the connection of all of us and how we interact between each other is what brings everything to life.

video by @prbmotion. plants from @walkers_wildlands. poem by @augustlaurencepoetry, titled, habitat:

for three years i have watched the mourning cloaks flit over my garden
the yellow-rumped warblers commune in the HOA palms
the mantises pray by the mailboxes on the opposite end of the neighborhood

but today i count and recount
eleven monarch caterpillars
housing milkweed
the narrow leaves bowing
with every bite

Fun intro I got to build and animate for @authorscreativecompany a while back with 2D FX from @jpzy88 and @prbmotion and Design from @gasilveira. This was one of the first pieces of client work I did for a big tech company using almost 100% #Blender. Appreciate @authorscreativecompany support in using Blender in our pipeline.
