    Indeed these are stunning, surely you did your part very well, but is this direction for AOL a good one? I mean they are just an Internet company, these idents are pushing them into broadcast/television territory.

    If I were to see these played on TV I would mistaken AOL for a TV channel...

    Either Olins is pushing this direction or ...
    I don't think these fit with the idea of an internet corp.

    Anyways, the films are great nevertheless!!
  • the idents are for online only, not TV - their web context should express the scope and excitement of the world that surrounds them
  • I agree. These work just because they take you away from the old AOL we all once loved, and hated, and kinda loved again, and then forgot... Great stuff !

    I love the 'web' connecting all the (I assume) mograph clones in the dynamic spot. I that some xpresso trickery to create that link between them?
  • Bryan Woods plus 1 year ago
    No, I believe thats just the tracer linking a bunch of clones together. Although I can't figure out how to get the tracer object to interact with the falling clones in mograph...
  • Matt Frodsham plus 1 year ago
    Incase anyone's interested Bryan I and TCAStudios just figured this bit out on mograph.net, no expresso just baking :)

    Beautiful! I love the reveal of the AOL logo - the white on white works amazingly well.
    My favourite segment is the first - but within it - when the trails start to get "eaten" by the ghostly silhouettes. I'd love to see a clip starting with the fully drawn background, and only as it starts to degrade, do you realise that it's been drawn by human movement.
    I digress...
    Awesome work as always Universal Everything!

    This piece gives me the feeling that Aol is a Japanese company, with the nice abstract and minimal soundscapes. I don't know where you guys drew your creative inspiration from, but I like it!

    It's funny, I was listening to Daft Punk's "Daft Club" the other day and the intro starts off with dial-up. Ahaha, the good ol' days.

    Did you use motion capture for the 2 first films ?
    I wish I could see a making of.
  •  
  • Analog Pixel plus 1 year ago
    No motion caputre. Hopefully I can do a making of for the spots I completed.
  • Hein Lagerweij plus 1 year ago
    that would be great.. I was brainstorming with a dancer/choreographer today about achieving exactly this without mocap, I'm surprised to see it here!
    Can you give some hints? Some kind of depth map to cinema 4d or something?

    Funny - the first dance sessions reminded me of the Fame episode called 'Blood, Sweat and Circuits' youtube.com/watch?v=OlABfqPeWMU but than with current technology (and software).

    This first one is so incredible! I love this shape. Keep wondering how you did it... Posted long time ago on my blog about body, art and media. Just thought you should know ctrlbarbara.wordpress.com/2011/06/11/universal-everything/

    It was mostly down to 3d Rotoscoping and some scripting in 3DS max. I would love to say more about it. But after that rip off from the earlier link...I dont think so.
