Lisa Mishima

Posted by tb4


Very cool, if not slightly disturbing, piece from designer Lisa Mishima. Lisa is a Japanese born designer now living in San Francisco, she just launched her new website back at the beginning of May and I have to say it is very nice. Clean and simple the new site runs very fast, and I was very surprised at how quickly the videos loaded, well done. Check out the rest of Lisa's work at her site, lisamishima.com.

Barbecue Design

Posted by tb4

Absolutely sick motion graphic short by Frankfurt-based Barbecue Design. One of the Motiongrapher's readers found a quick little behind-the-scenes at the Trapcode Gallery page, apparently the only 3D generated image is the reveal of the drivetrain and the packshot of the cars, the rest was entirely done in After Effects 2.5D using Trapcode Particular and Shine, seriously crazy work.

Check out the rest of Barbecue design's work here, it is pretty sweet.
