To the left is the last 3-minutes of a stop animation video titled “Metropolis” by Rob Carter. Rob is a Brooklyn-based photographer and videographer who enjoys playing with iconic structures and cultural trends. He had this to say about “Metropolis”:

“…this is less a warning, as much as a statement of our paper thin significance no matter how many monuments of steel, glass and concrete we build.”

I found the video intriguing in his process and in a cultural statement sense but at the same time it just reminded me of the good ol’ days of Sim City. Haha. Look at Rob’s website for more videos and photography.

Love the simplistic black and white animation created for the spot of BBC’s coverage of the Winter Olympics. The spot was done by Jon Klassen (co-designer) and Marc Craste (director) of Studio AKA. Both guys create some stunningly beautiful work. Be sure to check them out.

An interesting look back at the dawn of computer graphics. This video displays Larry Cuba‘s work on the Death Star approach graphics from Star Wars Episode IV. Great stuff.
