MMIA Agency in China, made  a beautifully designed video for Central China Television. The idea was to remake China’s history, for that, they would use the traditional “ink-and-wash” technique, which was developed in ancient China. This technique renders a dreamlike image. To get the final effects of the video, MMIA went to the Paris/German based production company Troublemakers.tv and the german director Niko Tziopanos of weareflink. The end result is one of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen, bringing this ancient painting technique to life.

Para atingir os efeitos desejados, a MMIA chamou a produtora Troublemakers.tv com sede na Alemanha e Paris, e o diretor alemão Niko Tziopanos da wearfilnk.

“UNDER THE SIGN OF THE WOLF

The world’s leading antivirus solution embraces a bold new brand identity.

Brandient armed Bitdefender with a powerful, sharp weapon: the legendary symbol of the Dacian Dragon-Wolf. Half wolf, half serpent, this totemic creature guarded the Dacian people in their wars and has come to stand for invincible defense. The modern interpretation of the ancient symbol completes the brand promise with sleekness, making the brand highly relevant to digital society while clearly asserting its Romanian roots.

What an amazing logo, and branding identity as a whole. I really like when people dig deep in ancient culture to find inspiration and can bring that to an ultra modern style. The video is also a great piece of the branding, translating the whole concept of the logo to a fast paced presentation right on our firt impression. This kind of thing makes my life better.

Achei a logomarca fantástica assim como  toda a identidade visual. Gosto muito quando as pessoas buscam inspiração em culturas antigas e conseguem trazê-las para um estilo ultra moderno. O video também é uma ótima peça da identidade visual,trazendo logo na primeira impressão os conceitos do branding em um ritmo acelerado. Esse tipo de coisa faz a minha vida melhor.

One of the things that really amused me on this video was the fact that it wasn’t actually filmed. It was photographed, with a Nikon D90, and then edited on Premiere.

They used some light painting that we have been experimented together a few times before.

The end result was quite fantastic and entertaining. Congratulation guys!

What do you think about it? I’d like to hea

Nature is amazing. It’s a shame what we do to it everyday.

Iceland, Eyjafjallajökull – May 1st and 2nd, 2010 from Sean Stiegemeier on Vimeo.

The opener video for the Palm Springs International Film Short Fest 2009. Directed by Justin Weber and produced by Danny Robashkin and Oren Robashkin at Make.

Very interesting how it shows the daily issues that an art director has when creating/directing, and the wide variety of techniques available now.
Must see!

Art & Copy seems to be an interesting film, for us designers and communicators.
