VJ Content - Five examples of Incredible Abstract 3D Animation

Element Future supports new media as a form of self-expression. In our humble opinion, 3D this good is wasted when it ends up in tv promo spots and cellphone commercials as a way of keeping the corporate image fresh, so it's a pleasure to find these 'unspoiled' personal videos from designers/programmers.

AfroMonk: What is the whole “Party.” thing about?

"PARTY started as an inside joke between myself & Steve Bugbee. He was shocked that B.A.D.ASS would only release limited information like date & city but not announce venue or lineup and still get over 1000 RSVPs on Facebook. I laughed and said “I wonder if people would RSVP if we just showed them a blank piece of paper that said PARTY on it.” We wanted to see if the idea would catch on so we tested it by getting the B.A.D.ASS & Slow Kids teams to set their default photo on Facebook to a picture of them holding up a blank piece of paper that had “PARTY” written in arial font. The idea started spreading virally as Steve & I found ourselves looking around the internet and people we didn’t even know had made similar default photos. That was when I decided we would make that my birthday rave….the main flyer was also a blank piece of paper with PARTY on the front and then we released the lineup & RSVP info on the back."

Micro Sites Make Moving Singles Magic

http://www.fosterthepeople.com/

Indie dance trio Foster The People ended up in my RSS feed on recomendation... The Soundcloud download had reached it's limit, so I really wanted the single then. I had to email them, because (too bad) their domain is  an Adobe Flash micro site, and there is only an option to stream, join, or find a show date.

Clever.

Post Magazine December 2010: Embracing Interactivity

 "Companies no longer rely on print and television spots to promote their brand. They need to find their way to the digital world with rich media Websites, videos, apps for handhelds and evolving technology such as gesture recognition."

 -Post Magazine

"Everybody is looking for a way to deliver a new innovative voice to their customers, and the Web space allows for so many different kinds of information to flow. You can create a social media touch point, or deliver a video online, or you can have a more interactive Website, whether it be a game, a microsite, or a rich media banner. There are just so many opportunities within this space to talk to consumers."

"We just did a piece for Lufthansa using gesture recognition. The technology has been around a while but now is becoming cheap enough that it makes more sense- Xbox Kinect is using it now. The basic idea is that a camera detects your movement allowing you to navigate around just using your body. Technology is changing so quickly that it's difficult to know for sure what is going to resonate with consumers."

"Brands are going to finally want to focus on how new technology can be useful and not just cool in the marketplace. These companies will look for partners that can bring both buzz and generate revenue opportunities."

-Garrett Nantz, Luxurious Animals

Miraculously Meeting Madison House

I just ran into Carrie Lombardi, president of  Madison House PR.

Wow. They're looking for the kind of IMC, SMO and brand activation that Element Future does... pretty cool.

She said, 'sure, present something'. I think we will have to do that.

Transmedia

Transmedia

"In five years," Kring is saying, "the idea of broadcast will be gone."

"Right," says Lindelof. "Instead of watching Heroes on NBC, you'll go to nbc.com and download the show to your device, and the show will be deleted as soon as you finish watching it -- unless you pay $1.99; then you get audio commentary. You enhance it. It's like building your Transformer and putting little rocket ships on the side."
