Welcome to movecraft, my little slice of motion graphics heaven on the internet.

Design

Back from Alaska IPA

Here it is. A bit of hand-lettering design for a very special home brew. Beer making is almost as time consuming as motion graphics.

More et cetera

I'm kind of having fun going through old projects to post stuff. Should I post on the main page? Who knows. This project was for an architect friend who was entering a contest called "free the box". It was for a new jersey locale where they were reclaiming shipping containers to be used in some kind of mixed use residential environment. My friend Ashton (the designer), concepted his ideas in google sketch up, but then reprinted them and hand drew everything, giving it a friendly, sketchy, and loose (dare I say "Juno"-esque?) kind of vibe, so I tried to pick a color scheme and identity that would match that aesthetic. I can see this stuff in motion.

Micro Updates

I haven't been exactly diligent about keeping up appearances, this blog, the front page of the site, or updates of any kind. I have a lot of deritus and fill in graphics work that 1)hasn't really been categorized, 2)isn't really motion graphics, or 3)I felt the distaste of client relations still in my mouth to keep me from posting the work here. But, like whiskey, things sometimes improve with age. I will try and "micro" post some old and new work up here before I do a "Major" revision to my front page.

Anywho, here's some work from waaayy back in 2006, some book covers and marketing material junk I designed at my time with Ursa Minor Arts & Media. There's more around here somewhere, I just thought I would try and get some little posts up here and there.

Projects include "Death on the learning curve", "Love is the solution", "Yoga Moods", The Earthdance Festival, and the Harmony Festival.

New-ness, funky, fresh, clean

amovertone-708246


Two updates from two of my good friends and fellow art collective/ compadres/ artists extrodinairez: Carl Nolting (aka AM Overtone) and Justin Metros. Carl has a distinct and soulful style that mixes well with his music background, and Justin is just a plain crazy smart and talented guy (custom video application coding and compiling using jitter at 3am after drinking a bottle of whiskey kinda smart). The three of us have been loosely performing as veejays around the Bay Area, with diverse shows, locals, and associated fame of the djs. Justin and I played a killer show with The Orb a few months ago and it was very cool to make some art with such a legend! As a result of all this activity, Justin is building us out a space on the web for us to share all of the video goodness. So, the insta-action video collective is still in its infancy, but check out insta-action.com soon.

Grouper, Groovy, Crackle, Crazy

crckl-746542


So, The work I did with GB on Grouper.com which is now known as Crackle has gone live. Strangely enough, Buddy and I also worked on a pitch for the Crackle identity intro animation as a separate job, which I might post here if I can show it to y'alls...Some cool styleframes for the brand. We had a wicked cool Katamari Damci type concept but no one went for it. Guess everyone has done Katamari. Sony owns Crackle and their deali-o is to provide inroads to all of Sony's traditional media empire for web based peoples/ film students/ etc. Will this branding and positioning differentiate this video sharing site from the other one billion video sharing sites out there right now? I have absolutely no idea. Maybe they should have called it Crckl, cause all web 2.0 sites come from the future, where they have no vowels.
