Graph Design: Life After Pi Movie

http://www.hollywoodendingmovie.com/life-after-pi/

We'll be watching this in Graphic Design class.

"

In February of 2013, John Hughes, founder of Rhythm & Hues Studios, regretfully announced that the company was going bankrupt. With no way to pay his hard working employees, and no other options, hundreds were laid off. Two weeks later, they won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for “Life of Pi.”

These were tragic, ironic times, and as employees, we were compelled to document it.  As the bankruptcy finalized and layoffs continued, we began filming – watching helplessly as one of the most prestigious VFX companies in the world crumbled. As we all asked how this could happen, many stood up in outrage, sounding the alarm that this incident was not an isolated event, but a reflection of greater problems.

The old model of the movie business is passing away, yet modern-day Hollywood grips it ever more tightly. VFX companies and artists are treated as mere cogs in the machine, with little regard to creating a sustainable, collaborative working relationship. This will lead not only to the demise of more VFX companies, but to increasing instability industry wide.

Rhythm & Hues reached new heights in visual effects mastery with its stunning work on “Life of Pi,” yet they still fell into bankruptcy.

“Life After Pi” reveals the behind-the-scenes factors that led to this sad and unforgettable moment in the history of Hollywood."

Animation: Credit Suisse 'Bam' (:54)

Mill+'s Carl Addy directs this explosive new Roy Lichtenstein inspired spot for Credit Suisse.

This spot for Credit Suisse directed in house by the Mill+ team references the relationship between Credit Suisse and Brookfield Asset Management told here as a boxer and his trainer.

It was The Mill's job to create a piece of Roy Lichtenstein inspired animation that showed this relationship. A tricky aspect of the job was taking this iconic style of painting and converting it into moving animation. It was important to obey the rules of traditional Lichtenstein painting, all motion needed to feel as though it could have been hand painted.

The team did this by using a combination of flash animation and after effects. The team were helped with illustration by Simon Landrein and the innovative animation transitions were led by Ivo Sousa.
