OFFF 2012 Main Titles

in , , , , ,

Designcollector was a Media Partner for OFFF2012 festival this year and was the only online media that tried to make a life visual report from the fields with the help of Alexander Kalachev. Also we will try to make a full report this week with festival photos send us by our friends. BUT for now please watch Official Festival Titles created by Brosmind and UpperFirst. Brosmind and Upper First redefined the format, mixing cinema, illustration and 2D/3D animation with paper, adding to their highly anticipated video a double-feature comic book that was given for free, alongside plastic masks with the face of the characters, to a crowd that enjoyed all the presentation feeling that they were the real protagonists of the party.

Particles, Light Installation

in , ,

From Description: An illumination installation of seemingly floating lights that create a fantastic afterimage, this work centers around an organically spiral-shaped rail construction on which a number of balls with built-in LEDs are rolling while blinking in different time intervals, resulting in spatial drawings of light particles in all kinds of shapes. The illumination's three-dimensional design, achieved through a fusion of the rail construct's characteristic features and communication control technology, takes on various appearances depending on the viewer's position. This installation combines generally entertaining ideas and sophisticated information technology in everything from LED devices and other hardware to programming.

The film tells the story of a man living in a world controlled and timed by light and the plan he hatches to escape.
