GM ELMIRAJ CONCEPT UI from GMUNK on Vimeo.

Screens come standard in many cars, so much so, that UI designers are hired to create cool looking digital gauges, markers, sensors and controls. Doing so makes the experience more distinctive and customizable. This video was simply inspiring. I especially appreciate the different boot sequences and variety that we in the presentation.

If "Frozen" Was a Horror Movie

The power of editing and music at its best.

I love "Frozen", we watch it many times in the house, but to see it done in this way is so interesting..."SORCERY".

Tom Clancy's: The Division

Marvelous to look at. Very sophisticated looking 3D UI throughout the game. Fast forward to 3:06 to get a sense of the pacing and timing of the UI elements.

Top 10 Superbowl Commercials 2014

At first glance, we thought that there weren't many "good" commercials this year. But if you look, there were many great gems to note. Here are our Top 10 Superbowl Commercials for 2014. Our criteria? Simple, they have to have some kind of CG or animated element and they must have a high entertainment value. In my classes, it means "laugh factor", the more giggles it got, the higher the score. No. One on our list however, was just plane excellent. Enjoy!
Thanks everyone for your input.
Let's start with No. 10.

No. 10 - H & M David Beckham: I know, the ladies love it.


No. 9 - Jaguar: Villains


No. 8 - Doritos: Time Machine


No. 7 - Radio Shack - 80's


No. 6 - PS4: Perfect Day


No. 5 - Volkswagen Wings


No.4 - Axe: Make Love Not War


No. 3 - Dober hua hua


No. 2 - Kia Matrix - By: Digital Domain


And NO. 1. - Pepsi. This was not an official commercial but it seemed to be the most outstanding thing we saw.

Godzilla - Official Teaser Trailer

Now this is a teaser. They probably didn't need to show his profile at the end, showing the large spikes on his back, as well as the damage done, was enough for me. Fire it up! Randolf

Omar Meradi: TD Showreel

Omar's reel is quite inspirational, there are a lot of clips in this reel that could serve as launch points for similar simpler projects. Check it out Omar's reel, take notes and jot down whatever inspiration comes to mind. Fire It Up! Randolf

Keloid - Big Lazy Robot

This came up this week in my classes. The variety we are exposed to as a group gives us some really good examples to review and be inspired by. This clip is no exception.

Vaimiti Guesdon - CG Generalist Reel

Nice interesting ways to showcase your model in this reel. Nice, clean and well designed. Sweet.

Donnie Yen vs. Bruce Lee CG Animation

This is actually quite entertaining if you are a fan. They did a good job in capturing the fighting styles of both fighters as they are quite believable.
