Stunning Motion Graphics by Mark Coleran
From time to time, we get to see movies that feature computer technology that we don't see much. Awesome futuristic operating systems, with touch screen tech, global positioning and all that. Today you get to know the man behind it all.
Mark Coleran, a Canadian designer is the person behind many OS' we've seen featured in the silver. Have you watched any of these: The Island, Alien vs. Predator, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Blade 2, Lara Croft - Tomb Raider, Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban, 007 - The World is Not Enough, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Ultimatum, Triple X 2, 13th Street, Deja Vu, Children of Men, Mission Impossible 3? If you did, then you know his work. But cooler than just reading movies names is actually watching his showreels. And here are 2 of them. You'll really like it! Cheers! ;)

I couldn't resize this next one, there was a lot of distortion, so watch it at Vimeo for a bigger presentation. ;)

Maybe we have to remember the OS effects in classic films like Odyssey 2001, that was a great inspiration

I've known of his work for a long time, his process seems fairly easy to recreate. Maybe I'll get a tutorial together on how to create something to this effect :D. maybe not with such details but including how to position and move a composed video in space.
Does anyone recall watching Minority Report, now it had some really nice idea's i wonder if Mark Coleran did that one too, hmm.
There's a more recent showreel here:

But still nice! :)
In simple Words... WOW !!
I already aware and inspired by his work for a while. everything is simple.
wow, I never knew there's a dedicated designer for all those things. great post. thanks for sharing!
I've just started doing this field of work; graphics and screen playback for film/television. I've been looking everywhere for existing designers, haven't had any luck (though I did find the folks who do graphic design for the CSI shows) - much appreciate the find here. And a fellow Canadian, too!
Thats Hot... That just forces me to be more innovative in After Effects!

Just came across this and wanted to say thanks for the good notes guys.
As a footnote, I am British, not Canadian but living in Canada. Working over here on a new piece of software called Flow from Gridiron Software. Turned the fantasy stuff into real stuff.
Cheers
Mark
