A 366 Day Type Calendar for Year 2016

November 02, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Graphic Design, Typography, 2015

"Typodarium 2016 is the daily typography dose. A tear-off calendar, just like the one our grandma used to hang in the kitchen. But this calendar unveils a new font everyday. We can therefore have, a whole year long, the chance to broaden our knowledge, to discover the font’s history and developement, to possess a piece of jewellery that is new everyday. On the front, the font will be prominently displayed, and on the back it will be described in details. How it originated, from what or who came the inspiration and where we can obtain the font. We really want a story about your typeface!"

TUNDRA x SILASVETA - EPICENTER

November 01, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Motioncollector, Portfolios, Russia, TOP 2015, 2015

One of the best electronic light and projection mapping studios in the world (yes, literally), Russians - TUNDRA and SilaSveta collaborated together to produce an EPICENTER immersive installation to celebrate 7th Anniversary of ARMA17 in Moscow

"Each group created an installation that places the viewer in the “epicenter of borderless creativity.” Tundra’s piece, Halo, creates eerie scenes such as a lightning storm and a fire, playing with space and criss-crossing beams of light. A figure weaves in and out of the beams, getting closer and closer but ultimately disappearing into the darkness. The soundtrack consists of choral music overlaid with what sounds like either rain or a scorching forest." says The Creators Project

Technical support: Robe Lighting, Light Logic Special thanks: Mix Pro, ARMA17 Team As well as: Dmitry Znamensky, Ildar Yakubov, Egor Kraft, Bulat Sharipov Filming and editing: Evgeniy Arkhipov vimeo.com/tunddra robe.cz lightlogic.ru fb.com/silasveta fb.com/dpulseband fb.com/monoleakagency

HUMAN, a film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand

October 26, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Motioncollector, TOP 2015

Shot in 60 countries over the course of three years, HUMAN’s ambitiously produced and deeply humanistic documentary film debuted simultaneously on September 12th 2015 at the United Nations and at the Venice Film Festival.In a recent statement, Yann Arthus-Bertrand said: “I dreamed of a film in which the power of words would resonate with the beauty of the world. Putting the ills of humanity at the heart of my work - poverty, war, immigration, homophobia - I made certain choices. Committed, political choices. But the men talked to me about everything: their difficulty in growing as well as their love and happiness. This richness of the human word lies at the heart of HUMAN. The movie relates the voices of all those, men and women, who entrusted me with their stories. And it becomes their messenger.”

Working with a dedicated team of translators, journalists and cameramen, Arthus-Bertrand spent three years collecting real-life stories from 2,020 women and men in 60 countries and 63 languages. These profoundly personal and emotional accounts are interspersed with stunning aerial footage that offers critical insight into life on earth. More than a film, HUMAN’s narratively high reaching project consists in the experience of an immersive and inspirational odyssey, a movement to encourage reflection on the human condition, ignite a conversation around the meaning of our existence, and empower people to make social change.

Words Can Be Weapons

October 26, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Advertising, Agencies, China, Motioncollector, 2015

Russian proverb says "Word is not a sparrow. Once it flies out, you can't catch it", it can hit, can humiliate and even kill. Shockingly tragic acts of youth violence are on the rise in our neighbouring China. An even lesser known finding is that in China, childhood verbal abuse has a strong link to adolescent delinquency (personally it happens everywhere in the world).

The Center for Psychological Research, Shenyang and Ogilvy & Mather, Beijing have joined hands to launch a creative campaign "Words Can Be Weapons" that raises Chinese public awareness of the serious and detrimental effects of verbal abuse.

Histibe - FOT3D

October 22, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Motioncollector, Netherlands, Portfolios, Ukraine, 2015

Contemporary electronic music producer Histibe is celebrating 2 years since release of his album "Take the Form (Rare Edition)" premiering new music video for track "FOT3D" that includes animation by experimental Dutch visual artist Siegfried Bekkers and logo design by respectable American graphic designer Joe Perez.

Forms Of The 3rd Dimension (stylized as "FOT3D") is a 3D animation video with "stream of consciousness" ideas, which takes a part of your mind into another dimension. The raw greenish style of textures fits perfectly to the "stream of consciousness” concept of the video. It’s not a real world. It’s a deep inner-world that reflects and generates images of the "other side” with various associations, experience and ideas that are incomplete and in the process of its creation. Its greenish color reflects the world of plants. Ideas are like plants: once an idea germinates in your mind, you can’t stop it. It has a will of its own. An idea only needs you to come to life, and once it has been born, it grows with its own logic. It doesn’t need you to exist anymore. You can’t stop ideas. Like music, ideas are free spirits, floating freely around us.
