The third installment of Ditroit Studio collaboration with Malaki concerns the Molasses essences. As the Molasses flavors are brought to life through abstract paintings, each one an artistic representation of the taste it is named for, the designers and motion designers drew inspiration from the iconic graphic element of the Molasses packs, the very brushstroke decoding this neat concept through 3D play involving liquid colorful paint, dynamic brush effects and product.

Mographic Aberration is a side project of Christiaan Endeman. It comes from 'Chromatic Aberration' but he just twisted it to suit a more Motion Design-y project. For the past few years, I created 'semi daily' renders with little to no direction when it came to content. For 2019 I wish to stick to one different theme every month. This theme can be integrated in any form or variety. As you may have guessed, this month's theme is: Chromatic Aberration.

Expected to release at the beginning of next year, looking forward to that. Surprisingly enough, I stumbled across the opening title sequence for Far Cry 6, what are the cool odds! Keeping the same tones from its reveal trailer, you are taken into the world of Far Cry where this time you are into the warm fiery colours and tones. It's quite mesmerizing, really excited for the game.

Nawaz Alamgir had some down time and wanted to experiment with some motion design and text animations in After Effects, his plan was to mess around and maybe make one or two designs but he kept finding out new styles and methods and just kept making more and more posters..I stopped at 10 posters... but then 20... 25 okay 30 - he mentions. And I feel like a loser after seeing all those amazing posters. Some posters are looping and contain messaging that relates to the current world situation.

It's a moment of introspection, very intimate, staged through a succession of small moments imbued with poetry, absurdity and sometimes surrealism...
In a museum, a woman looking at a Fork exhibited as a piece of Art let her imagination run wild. The film is a surreal journey interrogating our perception of objects. What happens when you take an object from daily life and move it outside of its original context? What is left of an object when it loses its function? An abstract shape, a sculpture? Can we deconstruct this object into simple elements and create variation of this object? Can those objects be combined to form a larger structure? Can those objects become alive to break free from human ownership?
