Created as a Final piece for graduation from Utrecht School of Arts Trichrome Blue is an eye capturing animation by Dutch creative Lois Van Baarle. Trichrome Blue is actually one part of a three part animated series and sets out to offer thought rather than material, in this section of the series we see a young woman lost in a land of bland uninspiring colour. Through discovering a lone fruitbearing tree she escapes to embrace the concept of colour. The Trichrome series actually has its own little site set up which contains all the videos in the series along with added information, it also presents a little quiz which I thought was a neat little touch, and something ive not really seen done before. If your captured by the video id recommend heading over to the site for the series and check out the other pieces in the project, and if you’ve got time on your hands, why not take the quiz. – Find more work From Lois van Baarle through the link below.

This is an animation video titled ‘A day in Paris’ by Benoit Millot, which was all shot on a Canon 7D. It looks like he roamed around paris shooting random scenes, for example at a zebra crossing, and animated a robot fitting into each situation. It’s a well done piece that’s very easy going.
Some great work from motion designer Renaud Hallée, it’s an official selection of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. The video titled ‘Sonar’ is a decompositions of instruments, cyclical movements and abstract shapes.
I have to say i love the simplicity of the project, you could watch this for hours, constantly looking at different parts of the screen.
I don’t usually bring news up like this, but i was shocked and saddened to see that the great producer Jun Seba, or Nujabes as some of you might know him by, has passed away. His music really touched my soul, it was on constant repeat on my iTunes and still will be for years to come, his work is timeless.
I just wanted to send my condolences to his family and friends, although i didn’t know him personally, his music changed many peoples perspective, and opened doorways for others. It takes a good man to affect someone’s life for the better, Jun Seba has effected thousands, maybe millions of people. The world mourns a great loss, but he will in no doubt live through his music.
Photographed by David Benjamin Sherry for the latest issue of AnOther Man Magazine, they have selected brands for a Spring/Sumer 2010 editorial titled ‘Haze’. We get looks at pieces from such labels as Marc Jacobs, Margaret Howell, D&G, Tom Ford and COMME des GARCONS Homme Plus. I though the photography was superb and should definitely be acknowledged and showcased. So here you have it, more looks below.
N.Hoolywood are getting more and more popular, now bringing a strong sense of theme throughout their collections, especially in this Fall/Winter 2010 Collection shown here. Despite their funky name, the Japanese brand doesn’t look to be messing around. This winter campaign has taken a military stand point, which was carried through into the runway show seen in the pictures. I especially like the way they used the sand bags and made walls around the platform. I would say the highlight being the outerwear, in which they seem to have put a lot of work into. The jackets look extremely technical, with lot’s of pockets and padding.
Influenced by the grip of Alzheimer’s disease on her grandfather Hayley Morris created this conceptual stop motion piece which won best animated short at Slamdance, a famous independent filmmakers festival in Utah.

Based in Brooklyn New york Hayley works as a director and animator for Curious Pictures, she is also quite the artist and its worth a browse of her projects for some inspiration or just for fun – find these via the link below.
Robert Cooper is a British photographer and video artist, in which Wallpaper* got together with to talk about his newest film titled Immersion.
Immersion has people filmed through a screen, in which a Red digital camera is embedded, he then takes stills from the footage and the extremely high-resolution, densely saturated portraits are the resulting works of art.
In the video Robert describes the project and answers a few basic questions.
I have a big admiration for Jolijn Snijders and her work, Miss Snijders is based in Amsterdam, Paris & London. She is a professional Photographer and Creative Director of Ilovefake Magazine, an independent digital bi-monthly. The imagery she produces is fun and creative, some say her style is raw, cinematic, candid and moody. Her clients list includes Vogue, VICE, ELLE, Contributing Editor and Karl Lagerfeld.
Christopher Hewitt is a self-taught London based Freelance Director, Designer and Photographer. He has 9 years of commercial experience, including working for clients such as EMI Records, BBC and the Discovery Channel. Good Morning Rachel is a voyeuristic short film peering in on the morning after a young couple’s first internet date. The film follows a sequence of increasingly disturbing events that take place whilst Rachel sleeps. Unknown to her the stranger who spent the night is after much more than just a one night stand. I think this raises some issues with the internet, it’s a virtual world and as it continues to grow it opens with it a vast playground for those who use anonymity to their advantage.
