The most amazing editing job VideoDoc ever saw!!! And such a great idea to combine three cult characters in one video!

Evoke is an interactive installation which lights up an entire building facade, and allows the public to create light patterns using voice control.

Evoke was on display at this year’s Illuminating York festival. York Minster Cathedral’s entire western facade was used as a projection screen for a huge 80,000 lumen projector. Members of the public with voices of different frequencies, rhythms and other characteristics were able to evoke an almost endless number of different visual patterns that would fill the entire facade of the cathedral.

The animations were “intelligent”, meaning that they, apart from traveling across the surface of the building, would also disappear through windows and other parts of the physical structure.

Check out the video of people screaming and shouting to evoke the visuals!

EasyWeb.fr is a European design firm with specialized expertise in large scale video projections on architecture. The projections are created using a technique called NEOPROJ.

EasyWeb.fr has existed for a few years and they have already produced several spectacular events. Their productions usually explore the forms and structures of buildings with the use of custom made video that is projected onto their facades.

To see some of the possibilities of this technology check out the videos on their YouTube channel and the projects on the company’s website.

Two videos about environmental problems produced by Tree Media Group and narrated by famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

Tree Media Group teamed up with Leonardo DiCaprio to create short video “Water Planet“  about the life giving necessity of fresh water, the ecological threats to it’s continued supply and ways we can turn the tide.

“Fin d’ete (End of Summer)” is beautiful and very atmospheric animation from Patrick Harboun, Ronan Le Fur and Joaquim Montserrat – three French students from animation school Supinfocom. You can find a lot of information about this animation and its creation at www.findete.com.

Impressive, realy impressive! Not so often students tend to do realistic 3D but it has its own cause of course. So, VideoDoc advises:

• use proper cameras. Cameras in this video was smooth, slowly moving. This helps keep focus on character, his feelings, face in that case, allows to predict, guess what caracter is feeling before unknown coming storm. Does hand held action camera would properly deliver atmosphere in this case?

So much for a students! Great atmosphere. This time VideoDoc let video speak for itself!

Animated Documentary-Mockumentary about Evil in western civilization from Ancient Greece to present day. The film was intended to show what people have believed in and pointed to as evil throughout history, to get you to think about what evil really is and to show that when we get too obsessed with “evil” we might end up taking part in it ourselves.
This is a student project, animated frame by frame in flash and composited and textured in AfterEffects.

Authors said pretty much and detailed about project by their own. VideoDoc this time just want to point out key moments:

•  Simple Animation. This time simple 2D Flash animation comes very, very handy. When you want to express, reveal some nowadays human or even society’s temper give a try to simplicity. And try to connect simple 2D with funny, humorous caricature-like drawings and people will like it and take a watch so chances your message get to them rises.  Of course, it is not the only way
• Tell Your Story. Don’t be afraid of people hearing your voice!  Help picture to send message. Here one man done voice records and here it worked well! You don’t have to be voice actor, you can do it by yourself! Take a paper if what, no one will see from other side of your monitor that you are reading your message.

VideoDoc is sure that people aren’t evil by nature and we can work out changes in our attitude, behavior and belief systems to positive. While it’s true not only Western civilization but whole humanity has a hope for bright and interesting future
