Olympics Promo by PLENTY
Buenos Aires based team of PLENTY released an awesome motion design case where merely no 3D design was involved apart from projection mapping tools. Watch the video and making of below
“We embarked on an amazing adventure with our dear friends from DIRECTV to take on a creative and production process we had never done before, mostly because we developed a CG production but ended up recreating Rio de Janeiro in MDF and 3D printing 10 statues representing different sports disciplines and the 2 most important Olympic Stadiums in Rio in order to film everything and add projection mapping. The whole production is real, we only did color correction. The piece wasn’t intended for advertising but to create an artistic representation of what the Olympic Games symbolize for the brand, which is a Colossal and Beautiful moment.”

Boeing 100 Director's Cut
“We created three spots to celebrate Boeing’s 100th anniversary. Executed using seamless design and hyper-real CG, we drew inspiration from engineering blueprints, as each spot captures the awe-inspiring process that starts with a single spark in the mind of a Boeing engineer, and finishes with a gravity defying roar of an engine taking a machine to unprecedented altitudes. From the historical, 1916 B&W plane to the 787 Dreamliner, Boeing products come alive, celebrating 100 years of technological triumphs in Space, Defense and Commercial travel.”

A World of Wonders
"When you stand among the handiwork of teamLab, a Japanese tech art studio, you’re seemingly transported to a sprawling foreign land that engulfs you in a vibrant, light-filled splendor. This immersive approach is now the focus of a massive exhibition that spans 3,000 square meters (over 32,000 square feet) and is called DMM.Planets Art by teamLab. It showcases a variety of the group’s digital work throughout the years, including new pieces just revealed to the public.
The exhibition features four spaces that offer kaleidoscopic colour schemes and multi-sensory activities. Each piece has its own distinct smell, including: the aroma of flowers, a forest, and “the universe”—a scent that astronaut Naoko Yamazaki helped create."

Our Time - United Visual Artists 2016
Our Time (2016) is the latest large-scale installation by United Visual Artists investigating our subjective experience of the passing of time. It defines a physical environment where pendulums swing at a pace apparently unhindered by the laws of nature and where no single time measurement applies. The installation combines movement, light and sound as a multi-sensory, multi-dimensional canvas the visitor can enter. Pendulums swing, each to their own rhythm, as time flows through the grid. With light tracing the path and sound its echo, the passing of time becomes almost palpable.
