SCREENING PROGRAM

Digitalsnapshot
04:30 | 2003 | Germany
Dir: Lo Iacono
Sound: Michael Kadelbach

A 'techno-queasy' look at the everyday.
It's journey around a moment in time is both hypnotic and somewhat unsettling. Our modern world captured in a modern way.

Selected and commented by The Designers Republic

Molecule
03:10 | 2003 | Japan
Dir: Yuki Tozuka
Sound: Tomohiro Toyota

What is so amazing about this video is that it was probably made entirely with only one polka dot pattern asset, resized, duplicated, distorted, inverted and animated. I love the minimalist's approach.
It's inspiring to see the work of simple idea with playful use of a limited environment.

Selected and commented by Yoshi Sodeoka (c505)

Moments
Random Loop | 2003 | Germany
Dir: Armin Purkrabek
Sound: Phillip Schulze

* It's an installation work to be played in random loop.

I felt the possibility of a real movie with this work, rather than an image, which was created through the monitor with some applications. This was created with a high faculty of composition, manipulating each parameter to handle speed, gravity and time, imagination and editing. It makes me want to watch it again and again. I also felt the same type of admiration in "Digitalsnapshot".

Selected and commented by Jiro Ohashi (SAL magazine)

_grau
10:01 | 2004 | Germany
Dir: Robert Seidel
Sound: Heiko Tippelt and Philipp Hirsch

_grau is a mesmerizing, beautiful, and disturbing work of art that fuses dark and light to create organic forms and amorphous shapes. The scenes unfold slowly, elegantly revealing tensions between seemingly simple fragments of life. It feels like a long look at some primordial soup giving birth to some of the world's first life forms, or one-celled organisms that can't quite fully resolve themselves.
The soundtrack, with its lonely drones rising and falling, make us believe we are witnessing a dark creation.
The director's most impressive accomplishment was in going beyond the technology of the computer to create something that feels as if it is made of real moments in time, inside a reality only slightly offset from our own.

Selected and commented by Motion Theory

2.5 CAMOUFLAGE
04:30 | 2004 | Japan
Dir: Sayaka Maruyama
Sound: Wataru Nishioka

After 5 seconds from the beginning, we immediately discover delightful amusement of camouflage and get struck with admiration. Sayaka leads us to the world of concerto that full of wits and rhythmic sense, which is different to M.C.Escher's works that felt rather crammed with abstruse patterns and visual illusion. Sakaya's work brings stimulations to us to see things around us in a new point of view with imagination.

Selected and commented by Sugarcube

We Still Got It
04:23 | 2004 | Ireland
Dir: Johnny Kelly
Music: The Redneck Manifesto

The motivation for selecting this as our choice was for a combination of reasons. The piece benefits from a strong and simple concept and well thought out story. Putting the viewer in the shoes of a designer charged with designing the album cover for a band. The chosen visual style is interesting and relevant. Reinterpreting the style of cut out paper collage techniques using digital animation, employed in such a way that the techniques and technology used remains transparent, aiding the design, rather than overpowering it.
The design is strong, bold and confident, with excellent use of colour and composition. The animation related well to the music and was full of fun elements and a twisted sense of humour which is something that the Diesel creative team really appreciate.
The piece both captures and maintains the viewers attention until the end of the animation, and succeeds in clearly communicating the intended story.

Selected and commented by Diesel Virtual Department
