GIFF Vignette | Visual art

New Vignette for GIFF, Göteborg International Film festival made by Visual art and starring an irresistible, beautiful looking baby dragon.

Well done all involved!

The ad agency SCP asked us if we were interested in sponsoring the Göteborg International Film Festival with a vignette, and since we really liked the idea and of course love the festival –it was a given. Last year the dragon was in its womb but now for 2012 it was time for the baby dragon to enter the world. With an enthusiastic and brilliant team we are happy with the result and had a lot of fun on the way. Big thanks to everyone that helped again!

Fedex | B-reel | Magoo

New stuff from B-reel, Directed by Johan Perjus and CG and post by Magoo.

Fedex – Solutions that Matter

ABOUT

In the summer of 2011, BBDO NY came to us with the idea of creating a series of four interactive stories for FedEx as part of the “Solutions That Matter” campaign. The concept was to create each episode by capturing people and events frozen in time, and piecing each of the scenes together into an explorable story. And while we were at it, we reckoned it would be interesting to let the storyline run in reverse.

Naturally, this required a pretty technical shoot, directed by our own master mind Johan Perjus. The four films were shot in multiple passes in Stockholm over 5 days using a motion control rig. Each and every scene was shot separately, with each character paused in movement, then stitched together to create the moment-in-time feel. Our dear, dear friends at Magoo then handled all post-production, including the creation and composite of a ton of 3D elements to each episode.

The stories were rolled out one by one over the fall, and features a unique system of navigation that allows the user to easily move forward and backward in time, exploring each and every detail. This type of interactive experience is a first for FedEx and we are happy and proud to have been a part of bringing this idea to life.

Interview with Tim Miller | Art of Vfx

Another interview with Tim Miller from Blur studios about their work for THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO from Art of vfx blog.

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO: Tim Miller – Creative Director & Co-founder – Blur Studio

Posted by Vincent Frei in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Creative Director

What is your background?
Originally I was an illustrator and animator at the dawn of the digital age. Currently I’m the creative director and one of the owners of Blur Studio in Venice.

How did Blur got involved on this show?
David has been a friend of the studio for years and we enjoy working together. Early on he had ideas for what he wanted this title sequence to be and thought we’d be a good fit for it.

How was the collaboration with director David Fincher?
First of all it’s an honor; in my opinion he is one of the greatest directors working today and his creative sensibilities are unmatched in my opinion. But less documented is just how great a collaborator he is; very open to ideas and new ways of approaching things. He’s a great guy and one of the funniest people I know

About

My name is Måns Björklund and i'm the one behind this blog, VFX Sverige. This blog is a project that I do on my spare time. To get in contact with me, click here. here.

Why?

Why VFX Sverige? I've always been interested in vfx and especially 3D. I felt that there was no place where all the projects produced or projects that have some connection to Sweden was collected. The idea is that you will submit new links to your new projects to me, and I will upload it on the blog. So tip me so I can keep VFX Sverige updated with the latest VFX projects.
