Tim Knol - When I Am King

Like the proud parents of a new-born child, we present you with the labor of love that is the video for When I Am King by Dutch indie rocker Tim Knol. The video was painstakingly put together by hotshot superbot Sverre Fredriksen who soldered ten tons (or thereabouts) of timber to create the images, and stop motion to animate them – averaging five hours of work per second shown. The clip was produced by our hot sister, YellowSubmarine, and we took the opp to create a ‘making of’ video, which you can see on 2Pause.com (our homage to the art of music vids) along with this video and many many more.

ENVISION: Step into the sensory box

ENVISION : Step into the sensory box. Sous ce nom se cache l'expérience immersive offerte par ALCATEL-LUCENT à ses clients lors du dernier Mobile World Congress. Une expérience à base de vidéo mapping conçue par l'agence SUPERBIEN et le département New Media de l'Agence \Auditoire. Le public était invité à entrer dans un cube et à découvrir une vision artistique de la tagline de l'événement : Transforming the mobile experience.

Are you easily entertained by flashing lights and shiny objects? Well, then, good news! You’ll like this trippy display of computer graphics which, Google Translate suggests, is a promotional video for a French telecommunications company. It’s called “ENVISION: Step into the Sensory Box.”

Are you human? / CAPTCHAs in Real Life

You probably had to enter it somewhere on a website already; a CAPTCHA code.

A random string of awkwardly placed numbers and characters, to be recognized and entered to verify you really are human. Architect Aram Bartholl (DE) places CAPTCHA codes as tags in the public space. Their strange art of writing makes sure the codes blend in the street view unnoticed.

German artist Aram Bartholl often juxtaposes online life with real life, as seen in his giant Google Maps indicators and actualization of World of Warcraft avatars. One of his recent projects is to place CAPTCHAs — the images of letters and numbers used to prevent computers from creating accounts with online services — in public spaces. Bertholl places them next to graffiti tags because graffiti, like CAPTCHAs, are codes that can only be read by certain people. The project is called “Are You Human?”

Verizon Broadband Music

We were asked to do three TV idents for Verizon Broadband in the USA. After pitching our ideas and being awarded the job, we learned that we were supposed to do nothing else than make another version of “The Zoo”. Coincidentally, we had invented a few more, new transformation techniques. We produced the “Music” ident ourselves, the other two (“Games” and “Movies”) were produced at The Mill, London.

Two Inches to the Right

Words / Mat Lloyd matlloyd.com
Animation / Matt Frodsham mattfrodsham.com

Follow up to the award winning 'Blokes'. A mixture of hand rotoscoped and 3D elements created in Photoshop, Cinema 4D, After Effects & the odd scrap of paper.

A bit about the poem from Mat Lloyd:

"I wrote the poem on a canvas with a marker pen the morning after I was attacked.

The night before I was in my local park on the opening day of the skate park I'd helped get built, it was nearly midnight. We'd organised a DJ to play the day out in a marquee and I just popped out to take a leak. In my drunken state I was stumbling to find a bush when I heard, and felt, a sort of 'boink' sound. I knew I'd been hit on the back of the head, and I knew it wasn't with a fist. I don't remember much else other than being back at the marquee with a bleeding head.

I was very lucky as a number of my friends and other revelers had spotted me being kicked on the floor and ran over to drag me out. For that I am very grateful.

Living near London, the poem has never been retired and still appears in my performance sets. With youth violence seemingly growing year on year, the poem is as relevant now as it was when I wrote it. People blame hip hop culture, movies, video games, parents, the education system, unemployment, the list goes on. I don't have the answer.

The saddest thing about "2 Inches to the Right" is all to often, someone from the crowd comes to speak to me after I leave the stage and tells me of their friend who died in a similar situation. The poem gives them hope that some may listen, and think twice." - Mat Lloyd

If anyone has any additional platforms this could be broadcast from to reach more people and hopefully make them think twice get in touch mattfrodsham@gmail.com
