White Stripes-Fell In Love With A Girl-LEGO Fell in Love with a Girl is the 2nd single released from The White Stripes 3rd album White Blood Cells. Released in 2002, it reached #121 in the US & #21 in the UK. The music video is a LEGO-style animation, directed by Michel Gondry. It has won several MTV Video Music Awards. The video is shot frame by frame with each frame having the LEGO bricks rebuilt, sometimes in a complex manner to seem as if it were an actual shot, and then formed together to give the illusion of motion. The video is considered to be one of the most complex videos using LEGO bricks ever made. As it turns out only half of the video was shot with Lego bricks, the other half was filmed and then digitalized. http://www.whitestripes.com/ http://www.director-file.com/gondry/ http://parents.lego.com/Features/Director%20brings%20White%20Stripes%20Video%20to%20life%20with%20LEGO%20bricks%20-%20story.aspx Tags: white stripes Lego michel gondry fell in love with girl art animation |

Tezuka Osamu-Jumping Dr.Osamu Tezuka November 3 1928- February 9 1989 He was a Mangaka, Japanese manga artist and animator. Born in Osaka Prefecture, he is best known as the creator of Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion. He is often credited as the Father of Anime, and the Walt Disney of Japan. In this short film a boy skips down a street, his stride becomes bigger and bigger, and he then jumps over towns, a forest, the sea, going higher and further. Finally he reaches a country in wartime. This work is very interesting in that the boy's jump turns to a god's jump, to a point where he is watching over human destiny. This work surprised the entire world because the whole film was shot in one cut with 4,000 motion pictures. It received many awards. Original Plan, Story line and Rendition: Tezuka Osamu Producer: Matsutani Takayuki Animation: Kobayashi Junji Effective Sounds: Kurahashi Shizuo Assistant Producer: Kubota Minoru More Info http://en-f.tezuka.co.jp/ Tags: tezuka osamu jumping animation manga astro boy kimba |

Breakfast in the Open Air by Edouard Manet This depiction of Manet's favorite model, Victorine Meurent, as a nude on a picnic with two clothed men was considered scandalous. It exemplifies Manet's tendency to shock, provoke, and raise more questions than he answers. Edouard Manet painted Breakfast in the Open Air for the annual exhibition of the Académie Royale in Paris in 1863. But his painting was not allowed to be shown officially. The principal figure, Victorine Meurent, was Manet's favorite model. 7,000 people viewed the painting on the first day of the show. Most were either shocked or amused by the shamelessness of the picture. Nowadays, Edouard Manet is acknowledged worldwide as the most important reviver of painting. An inarguable high point in art history, he triggered a decisive turn towards modernism. Looked at and interpreted in a radically new way, this movie takes a different approach: a painting is shown the artist is briefly presented and then the painting is examined from various angles which go beyond the two-dimensional work of art on canvas. It gives the viewer a chance to take a look from within and experience what the models might have seen and the perspectives the artist might not have chosen to commit to canvas. By this change of point of view we believe the understanding of the work of art presented is greatly enhanced. http://www.artcyclopedia.com/feature-2001-03.html Tags: edouard manet breakfast in the open air artist nude picnic déjeuner sur l'herbe |

Levi's Commercial 1970-Claymation Levi Strauss (1829-1902) Blue Jeans. No item of clothing is more quintessentially American than the blue jeans invented and perfected in the mid-19th century by Levi Strauss. In 1853, the 24 year old Strauss left New York for San Francisco, hoping to cash in on the Gold Rush that began in 1849. Along with his sister & brother-in-law, he opened a dry goods store that sold supplies to miners as well as fancy linens etc, to the growing city. In 1872, Levi received a letter from Jacob Davis, a Nevada tailor. Davis was one of Levi Strauss' regular customers; he purchased bolts of cloth from the company to use for his own business. In his letter, Davis told about the interesting way he made pants for his customers: he placed metal rivets at the points of strain-pocket corners and the base of the fly. He didn't have the money to patent his process so he suggested that Levi pay for the paperwork and that they take out the patent together. The patent was granted on May 20, 1873 & the first blue jeans were born. The first jeans came in two styles, indigo blue and brown cotton "duck." Unlike denim, the duck material never became soft and comfortable so it was eventually dropped from the line. Strauss' utterly practical blue jeans were even embraced by the fashion industry. Levi's® jeans for women were first featured in Vogue magazine in 1935. "Designer jeans" eventually became so popular that in the mid-1970s Calvin Klein® jeans were garnering $12.5 million per week. Abroad, American jeans (especially Levi's® jeans) were in such demand that in Eastern Bloc countries they became an underground standard of currency. However down to earth they may originally have been, the blue jeans invented by Levi Strauss became an international phenomenon and an icon of American culture. http://www.levi.com/ http://www.chrisblum.com/ Tags: levi's jeans strauss commercial animation arts claymation |

Character Animation from 2D Pictures & 3D Motion Data A new method to animate photos of 2D characters using 3D motion capture data. Given a single image of a person or essentially human-like subject our method transfers the motion of a 3D skeleton onto the subject's 2D shape in image space, generating the impression of a realistic movement. It presents robust solutions to reconstruct a projective camera model & a 3D model pose which matches best to the given 2D image. Depending on the reconstructed view, a 2D shape template is selected which enables the proper handling of occlusions. After fitting the template to the character in the input image, it is deformed as-rigid-as-possible by taking the projected 3D motion data into account. Unlike previous work this method thereby correctly handles projective shape distortion. It works for images from arbitrary views and requires only a small amount of user interaction. It presents animations of a diverse set of human (and non-human) characters with different types of motions such as walking, jumping, or dancing. http://www.rwth-graphics.de/publications Tags: alexander hornung ellen dekkers leif kobbelt 2d 3d graphics art animation |

I/O Brush-The World as the Palette I/O Brush is a new drawing tool to explore colours, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by "picking up" and drawing with them. I/O Brush looks like a regular physical paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch sensors embedded inside. Outside of the drawing canvas, the brush can pick up colour, texture, and movement of a brushed surface. On the canvas, artists can draw with the special "ink" they just picked up from their immediate environment. http://web.media.mit.edu/~kimiko/iobrush/ Tags: i o brush art artist paint entertainment idea innovation |

Latte-Coffee Art Latte art or coffee art refers to designs created on the tops of espresso based drinks by a barista. These designs are usually created in one of two ways and sometimes using a combination of both. Latte art is considered by many consumers of coffee to be the final, crowning touch on an exquisitely prepared espresso-based beverage. Because of its visual presentation to the customer and beverage drinker and the increasing importance latte art has in cafes around the world, there is concern that taste should never become secondary to the art.

Besides the 3D art, Beever paints murals and replicas of the works of masters and oil paintings, and creates collages. He is often hired as a performance artist and to create murals for companies. Beever is interested in advertising and marketing, as well. He has worked in the UK, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Denmark, the USA and Australia.
