Another FRIDAY typographic animation...

#animation #motiongraphics #typography #kinetictype #kinetictypography

A short animation of the word "FRIDAY" animated as individual letters and as a whole word in a grid pattern. Letter colors alternate between white and dark brown, set against a bright red background.

Wear the Mark, by Dean DiMarzo, aka longestsoloever

A song about masking, inspired by the character Gangle from The Amazing Digital Circus. Released shortly after episode 4. The lyrics are incredible.

"Another day, another show with no rehearsal"
"Hard to say what remains when I stumble off the stage. Does the one behind the role still have a face?"

The latest episode of TADC features the 1892 song Daisy Bell. This song was used in the first demonstration of computer speech synthesis at Bell Labs (which is likely why TADC referenced it), but here it is sung by two humans (both the characters and their voice actors). I really like how they harmonize.

On its own Cel Shading looks kind of ugly (though some video games have gotten away with it), lacking in the human touch it tries to evoke.

What recent films, since 2018's Into The Spiderverse, have found is that to make it work for a feature film we need to find ways to inject that human touch back into it.

Spiderverse used machine learning so artists could teach it how better to "ink" various video frames. I presume they trained a convolutional neuralnet on their own renders.

2/2 Fin!

Then Arcane took this to its logical conclusion by spending a quarter billion dollars to make every frame look like a renaissance painting. Definitely worth it.

"How do you texture it to look like a painting"
"We paint"
(quote from their making of documentary, "Arcane: Bridging the Rift")

A short clip from the animated series Arcane (2021–2024), season 2, episode 6, The Message Hidden Within the Pattern. Isha, a young girl around 6 years old with brown hair partially dyed blue, is facing the camera and holding a gun in her left hand. The gun is shaking and crackling with bluish white lightning streaks. With her right hand, Isha makes a finger gun gesture towards the camera. Behind her, something is moving that looks like a giant monster that glows like lava.

Gangle: How are you supposed to like the part of yourself that just makes you worse than everyone else?
Zooble: Because it exists. It's a part of you that's real. And the only you that you should care about is the real you. You have to choose to love yourself, even if it doesn't make sense. It's not natural, it's intentional.

A shot from the animated series The Amazing Digital Circus, episode 6, They All Get Guns. Gangle and Zooble are sitting on a checkerboard floor, leaning against a cartoonish medieval castle wall decorated with fake plastic torches and random objects with googly eyes. The wall is blue, and through two windows above the characters, a bright orange background can be seen. Gangle is a red ribbon coiled in a vaguely human shape, wearing a tragedy mask from classical theater. Zooble is a collection of parts that look like they were taken from several different children's toys. Next to the two characters, an AK-47 rifle and a sniper rifle are leaning against the wall.

This had me captivated for a good five minutes. I just kept watching how the patterns matched up, trying to parse out the connections in my brain.

Who knew an animation of a Rubik’s Cube and some corresponding concentric circles could be so stimulating?

I have absolutely no idea who created it. Tried to find out to no avail. (Happy to edit with a citation if someone knows.)

#RubiksCube#Math#Animation#Geometry#Patterns#BrainGames

A Rubik’s Cube, depicted on the right as a three-dimensional rendering, is modeled on the left as a series of overlapping concentric circles. Each sub-face of the cube is a colored dot, and each rotation of the cube corresponds to a rotation of the dots along one of the circles. The dots always fall at the overlaps of two circles, representing that they can always be moved in two different directions.
