So, week 2 is passed and It has been a very busy week. Had a lot of work for the Wagner Campaign, but I love working on that campagain. I also finished this week the skyscrapper banner for the Campagain. If you have something to say about the Wagner campaign, feel free to leave a comment. I [...]

So, my first week at Saatchi & Saatchi is over. It was a really nice week, actually. The week was started with a tour guide and meeting a lot of new people. We also got the chance to attend a meeting. But the most of important thing of all, I learned actually a lot of [...]
Okay, the first 2 days of my internship are passed now, and I can already that I’m looking forward to the next 3 months. First we’ve got a guided tour of the company by Marlies. So we’ve met almost everybody who’s working at Saatchi Saatchi Brussels. It’s a really nice company, they are like having their [...]
TweetToday I played arround a little bit with the Flickr API in Actionscript 3. So far nothing special but I’ve managed to get some pictures on my stage with a little search box and enlarging the picture when clicking it’s thumb.

This is probably the coolest trailer I have EVER seen. I can’t tell where reality stops and CGI begins. It’s kind of a trailer for their Radio Soulwax thing! And you know what? It worked! I’ve been listening to (and sometimes watching) Radio Soulwax for the last few hours and I’m loving it! I love the way you can see the entire process of existing music being transformed into new audio goodness. Old records get dumped into The Machine which are then melted and filtered through a breathtaking lady. The endresult is what you hear on Radio Soulwax. Very very cool! I’d ...
TweetFinally got there. Cost me blood, sweat and tears but the project is finished! You can see the result online here: http://student.devine.be/gert-jan.meire/20112012/MAIII/JOHNNY5/ Or watch the showreel here:
Usually I don’t like video’s that feature excessive dancing but on this occasion I’m totally sold. I’m a sucker for the combination of hard beats, cool 3D match-moving and the elegance reflecting in the dancing. This needs no further explanation. It’s perfect.
Another week, another clip. This one comes from another production company I have never heard of: Spy Films. It’s actually supposed to be a stereoscopic 3D ad which will be shown in theatres. The focus here is the magical blending of what is real and what is CGI. Add a deep voice, an emotional poem, some dramatic soundscapes and mindblowing slowmotion and you got yourself a 60 second ad that has you completely taken in. I love it because it looks so real and so fake, all at the same time. The calm and romantic lighting versus the exploding foreground results ...
Holy cow! It’s monday already! And boy, do I have a clip to start the week! It’s massively awesome! Alfred ImageWorks made a game trailer for JCE‘s Freestyle 2, which is a game I have never heard of. This trailer looks awesome. It features great effects, realistic lighting, very cool movements, motion capturing, some great music and an overload of badass-ness… Everything is in place to make sure one is interested in the actual game. The amount of detail in the clip is off the charts. That’s what sells the piece. The quality actually reminds me of Toy Story. And that’s ...
I had a great clip lined up for this week and then this morning I came across this on Vimeo. It’s a rebrand for BT Vision. It’s playful, colorful, fresh, young and it doens’t feel like it’s just some random stuff that’s been put together. ManVSMachine really did a great job making this look very real while using lots of CGI. It doesn’t feel 3D. I absolultely love it!
Normally I post these on monday but since I was crazy busy yesterday, I didn’t get around posting this one. However this one will make up for it! It’s a perfect blend of video and cartoon. It feels very organic. The style reminds me a bit of the one you can see in some of the episodes of The Animatrix. The quality of the piece is extraordinary. The colors, the animation, the soundtrack, the cuts: It’s all in perfect harmony. Everything feels just right. I love this piece!
