Portfolio of Chinese interactive art director Yong. Using hand made clay models to form the basis of his work it is beautifully realised, from fantastic clay animation to his work realistically modelled onto blocks of clay. Amazing animations, design, and style all coming together to make a fun, beautiful website.

Dark Night Of The Soul

⊆ July 1st, 2010 by Dan | ˜ No Comments »

Beautiful website promoting the release of an album collaboration of Dangermouse, Sparklehorse, and David Lynch. Set in a dark 3d world, where exploration is the key, a card pop up interface unfolds before you. By dragging parts of the cardboard world you reveal content, new imagery, video, and sounds from the album. I love the way you explore, clicking and dragging forwards zooms in/out, and dragging left / right pans around. The lighting also changes with the depth of your viewpoint, and it changes on the cardboard pieces that you drag around – really incredible attention to detail. The feeling of depth is incredible, giving a great sense of ambience and setting a fascinating scene. The setting is fantastic, it works like a charm, and it looks stunning, really refreshing work…

Le-Joy

⊆ June 17th, 2010 by Dan | ˜ No Comments »

Very cool site of photographer & art director Jaoa Sousa. Set within a grid of labelled projects, the preloading itself is very cool, is a sea of work Le-Joy has created. Rolling over each thumbnail instantly displays that project and changes the thumbnail to navigation buttons, keeping your mouse still for a few seconds hides all the navigation and grid. When each image appears it is mapped to a 3d surface and animates nicely into view. A superb, stylish portfolio of really nice work, different but familiar, really cool…

Shihad – Sleepeater

⊆ May 18th, 2010 by Dan | ˜ No Comments »

Really cool interactive music video from Shihad with their latest single. 100 Shihad fans were invited to take part in a music video, and were filmed in slow motion whilst being ‘tortured’. The results are a wall of individual videos which you can watch and interact with. Beautifully shot and fun to watch, very stylish with black and white. I love the way the video flips from silhoutte to detail, white and then reverse, you find yourself watching it again and again!

The Digital Invaders

⊆ April 27th, 2010 by Dan | ˜ No Comments »

Interesting site for ‘The Digital Invaders’, from what I can tell it is offering courses in Flash, design, and so on from the great digital agency Grupo W, all sounds a lot like the Swedish Hyper Island. Set in a large scrollable canvas with amazing animation and drawings explaining what they offer. Loads of detail and animation, really polished and a lot of fun.

David Maupilé

⊆ February 18th, 2010 by Dan | ˜ No Comments »

Website of photographer David Maupilé. Based around a long sheet of folded paper in 3D, with each photograph folded – when clicked camera zooms in and displays photo bigger. Very clean and minimal with a nice navigational interface, well made and looks great! Very cool…

Full Size Image

⊆ February 16th, 2010 by Dan | ˜ No Comments »

Beautifully simple portfolio of ‘Full Size Image’. Using pixels of light that move around to form text and thumbnails – each project scrolling past and regenerated by pixels on the homepage. Love the movement of all the pixels and simplicity of it all.

Gabriel Orozco – MoMA

⊆ January 20th, 2010 by Dan | ˜ No Comments »

Site promoting the exhibition of Mexican artist, Gabriel Orozco at MoMA. Really nice example of a dynamic gallery that pans around with your mouse movement. I also like the way things move around when you click on one of the thumbnails, and the clear concise navigation and nice animations.

100 To Watch

⊆ January 5th, 2010 by Dan | ˜ No Comments »

Site showcasing 100 artists, designers, writers and so on all from Romania, to highlight Romania’s cultural conribution to the world. Interesting strip based layout when clicked reveals that artist’s section, which you can then click and drag to navigate. I like the exploratory approach to the layout and the clean simple style of navigation.

Kenneth Elgaard

⊆ December 21st, 2009 by Dan | ˜ No Comments »

Portfolio of Danish artist Kenneth Elgaard. Clean and minimal, drag based interactivity – set around a cube with each side a different section of the site. What I like is the way you navigate the portfolio, by dragging along you view the work, and by dragging up and down you zoom in and out. All makes for a fluid, easy to use experience.

Red Earth

red earth

Fantastic typographic intro sequence for the art work of Eddie Goh. The pacing of the animation is really fantastic you really get the feeling of the transcript. The site itself is pretty strange too, but provides an interesting atmosphere to some nice work.

Jacques Tati – Orange Cinema Series

orange cinema series

Cool promotion site for Orange in France and from what I can tell some cinema events. Nice stop motion animation with cardboard objects, really well animated and provides an interesting look and feel for the site. Nice interaction with the little elements and well animated characters – fun to play with and cool to look at.
